Tundra Esports wins The International 11 ‘Dota 2’ Tournament

Tundra Esports has been declared the champion of The International 2022, the biggest Dota 2 competition of the year.

Tundra Esports defeated Team Secret 3-0 in the grand final, leaving no doubt about who the finest team in the world is. Tundra Esports, in keeping with TI tradition, wins a large sum of money in addition to the trophy and honour. The team receives $8,503,124, which is 45% of the entire prize money for this year’s tournament.

Tundra Esports’ performance in the upper bracket until the Grand Final left no question that the team possessed flawless cohesion, draught comprehension, and discipline as they crushed one team after another. Aui 2000, the coach of Tundra Esports, has made history by being the first individual in Dota 2 to win the Aegis of Champions as both a player and a coach.

Tundra Esports outperformed Team Secret’s choices and strategies in all three games. Tundra’s notion of combining Wraith Pact and Mage Slayer to not just attenuate but practically nullify Secret’s Leshrac was genius.

Tundra’s map-splitting tactic was nearly unbeatable throughout the event, with the team losing only four games in the Group Stage and one in the Main Event.

They absolutely overpowered Secret in the finals, securing the second 3-0 whitewash in a TI grand finals since Team Liquid swept Newbee in TI7.

Team Secret has been so close to winning TI in the past two years, finishing fourth in 2019 and third in 2021. They did one better this time, finishing second, but it will seem like a huge squandered chance, especially since they got to the event via the Last Chance Qualifier following a terrible year for the squad. They earn at least $2,451,843 from second place.

The Tundra roster that won The International 2022 grand final will get the Aegis of Champions as well as the prize reward of more than $8.5 million.

  • Oliver “skiter” Lepko
  • Leon “Nine” Kirilin
  • Neta “33” Shapira
  • Martin “Saksa” Sazdov
  • Wu “Sneyking” Jingjun
  • Kurtis “Aui_2000” Ling (Coach)

Team Secret, the event’s runner-up, had the following players and coach. The squad will receive 13% of the prize pool, which amounts to around $2.5 million.

  • Remco “Crystallis” Arets
  • Michał “Nisha” Jankowski
  • Roman “Resolut1on” Fomynok
  • Baqyt “Zayac” Emiljanov
  • Clement “Puppey” Ivanov
  • Lee “Heen” Seung Gon (Coach)

Tundra and Secret will both be considered significant competitors for the 2023 Dota Pro Circuit season, which will begin with a few adjustments in early 2023. That season will also see the introduction of a fresh new Dota 2 hero, Muerte, who was revealed shortly before the deciding best-of-five. While competitive matches will be put on pause for a while after TI11, Dota 2 esports fans should expect the usual post-TI roster shuffling.
