Shopify Rebellion has looked impressive in the early stages of the Dota Pro Circuit this season. They racked up six wins and one loss in the Winter Tour and continued that form with a solid three wins and four draws in the Group Stages of the Lima Major.
Their biggest test, however, happened today. They locked horns with TI10 winners Team Spirit in the Upper Bracket Quarterfinals, and despite losing the first match in 30 minutes, bounced back in the second, forcing their cross-region rivals to a third and final one. Despite getting off to a good start in laning, they lost a crucial teamfight around Roshan’s pit early. Arteezy was the only survivor, with all five members of Spirit still standing.
