Team Spirit shocks PSG.LGD to win The International 10

. Teams fought their hearts out for their share of the biggest prize pool in esports history, a mind-blowing $40,018,195. For those curious, at the current Dollar to Rand exchange rate, that's over half a billion Rand. To be exact, it's 580 million Rand...The group stage of The International 10 whittled down the competition to the final 16 teams, with the Chinese juggernaut PSG.LGD going 15-1 in Group B. PSG.

During the playoffs, PSG.LGD barreled through the competition. They beat T1 with a score of 2-1 in the upper bracket, followed by ploughing down Virtus.pro with a clean 2-0. In the upper bracket final, Team Secret was outclassed by PSG.LGD as the Chinese team secured their spot in the grand final. Team Spirit, a young CIS squad, was knocked down to the lower bracket in round one by Invictus Gaming. That's when a Cinderella story like no other started to unfold. Spirit went on, what can only be described as a miracle run. Team Spirit brought down Fnatic 2-0, followed by a 2-0 victory over the defending champions, OG. The squad didn't stop there, as they knocked out Virtus.pro 2-1, and Invictus Gaming 2-0 to claim their revenge.

No one could have imagined Team Spirit even making it to the grand final. However, the squad rallied once again, going 2-0 up in the best-of-five against PSG.LGD. The Chinese juggernauts fought back with two very convincing wins to make it 2-2, bringing us to the final game of The International 10. Despite a strong, signature draft from PSG.LGD, Team Spirit would not be denied, as they beat PSG.

A big congratulations go out to Team Spirit for winning The International 10, and the lion's share of the record-breaking prize pool. Team Spirit wins 18,208,300 while PSG.LGD limps away with $5,202,400 as the Aegis of Champions is now in the hands of the CIS region for the first time since Na'Vi won the very first The International.
