No Dota 2 team is safe as TI 2023 opens with multiple upsets

The International 2023 is not a safe place for top-seeded teams, with all but one dropping at least one game as the group stage kicked off with a day of upsets. 

Gaimin Gladiators was the biggest example of this initial round of surprises, opening their TI12 run with an immediate 0-2 loss to LGD Gaming that wasn’t particularly close for the undisputed champions of the 2023 DPC season. Quinn and crew bounced back with a sweep on Virtus.pro, but also split their series against nouns—going an even 3-3 after entering the event as arguably the overall favorite.
