In August 2020, the great era of the current team spirit started. At that moment, five players banded together under the name Yellow Submarine. The team did exceptionally well, even reaching the top of the CIS rankings. As a result, Team Spirit acquired it as one of its divisions and agreed to sign all its gamers. The team, however, did not compete in the Dota (2020) championships after the event was canceled due to the global COVID- 19 pandemic.
The International Dota 2 Championships are the most lucrative gaming events. They have set a world record for prize money offered throughout the last six tournaments. Following a change in the event location, last year's event was held in Bucharest, Romania. At first, the appearance of the public in the stands had been anticipated, but due to the danger of COVID-19 spreading, Valve (the host) decided to forego having the public in attendance in favor of a virtual model to follow the games.
Prizes
In terms of prize money, the 2021 Tournament was a record-breaking event. It had total prize money of $40 million, of which $18 million went to the winning team - Team Spirit. They managed to revenge their previous loss to PSG: LCD in the OGA Dota PIT Invitational, where they managed second place. Thanks to the community's purchase of Compendium and Battlepass, Valve was able to guarantee this prize. As the Dota Pro Circuit resumes this year, Team Spirit uses the experience gained over the previous tournaments to obtain the best equipment for their daily training.
Other notable Dota achievements in Dota competitions include: winners of the DPC EEU 2021/2022 Tour 1: Division I (Tier 2) and the Pinnacle Cup (Tier 2). They also managed to finish 3rd in Galaxy Battles II: Emerging Worlds in 2018 after they had won the Almeo Esports Cup (Tier 3) in 2017.
Team Spirit's CS: GO team has had several achievements in various competitions. It has won the Pinnacle Cup II, DreamHack Open January 2021: Europe, Nine to Five # 3, Eden Arena: Malta Vibes – Week 8, ESL One Road to Rio-CIS, and SECTOR: MOSTBET Season 1.
Additionally, it has been a runner-up in some other major competitions too. These tournaments are the Champions Cup Finals, StarLadder & ImbaTV Invitational Chongqing, all in 2018, and the CIS Minor Championship (2017) in Atlanta.
