For those who follow me and don’t know, I’m a massive Dota nerd and what is essentially our world championships (The International, or TI) started its main stage today.

This was basically me the entire day. Please enjoy this mental image.

Regarding OG vs Team Spirit...

[impishbiscuit]

You are playing against Team Spirit. You do not ban (Magnus or Mars) because you can counter it. Team Spirit instantly picks (Magnus or Mars). You lose against (Magnus or Mars). You ban (Magnus or Mars) next time you play against Team Spirit because you're not stupid.

traditional Dota proverb for playing against Alliance, modified to suit Team Spirit

As of writing this, Team Spirit are up two games against PSG.LGD in the Grand Finals of TI10 and they’ve been playing beautifully. A delight to watch. Collapse is especially a god, but all have been playing phenomenally.

Edit as of the third game: apparently, PSG.LGD can actually counter it!

Final update: Collapse is too strong on his Magnus after all! Congrats to Team Spirit on their victory, and well played to PSG.LGD!

Dota 2 may have a lot of toxicity to its playerbase, but there are these moments where you can really feel the genuine bond between two brothers. Good luck to Quincy Crew going forward!
