History[edit]

This section is an excerpt from History of Team Spirit

On December 19 2020, the organization signed the roster of Yellow Submarine, with youngsters Yatoro, TORONTOTOKYO, and Collapse, alongside captain so bad and veteran Miposhka. Finally, the team added Dota legend Silent as coach. The team was seeded into the CIS Upper Division of the new DPC season. In early February 2021, so bad was removed from the active roster and replaced by Mira, on loan from Cascade, and Miposhka would take over captaining duties. The team would finish in 4th place in the first season of the CIS Upper Division, thus retaining their spot for season two in the Upper Division, but failing to qualify for the Singapore Major. Mira would also fully join the roster.

In the second season of the CIS Upper Division, Team Spirit finished in second place, behind Virtus.pro, thus qualifying for the Group Stage of the WePlay AniMajor. Here, the team narrowly gets out of the group stage, by beating Team Liquid in a Bo1 tiebreaker match for the last spot in the lower bracket of the playoffs. In the first round, they were able to beat Alliance, but lost to Vici Gaming in the second, thus exiting the tournament in 7-8th place and garnering 200 DPC Points.

With a total of 585 DPC points for the 2021 DPC Season, the team was ineligible for a direct invite to The International 2021. But all is not lost, as there would still be a chance at the Eastern European qualifiers, where Team Spirit marched through the upper bracket, meeting little opposition until the grand finals. Here, they were able to beat rivals Team Empire 3-2 in a nail-biting series and grabbing the CIS qualifier spot at TI 2021. Together with Virtus.pro, they would be the only two CIS participants at TI this year.

In October 2021, Team Spirit won The International 2021 and became the only second ever Eastern European team to become The International champions, since Natus Vincere in :

Biography[edit]

PGG (plzgogame) is one of the most famous players in CIS scene. Known in his DotA 1 days for his ability to steal Aegis, find and bring talented players from pubs to the professional scene, and to win LAN events against renowned teams with a mix-team of his own. A very emotional and vocal captain that often trashtalks to improve team’s morale. He got the nickname «Grand Theft Aegis» for his Aegis-stealing highlight plays on Storm Spirit.

PGG is perhaps best known for his scintillating but inconsistent play on Enigma. He has often landed game-changing Black Holes, for which he gained the nickname «The Blackest Black Hole.» However, he is also often ridiculed for frequently casting Black Hole on zero targets. Dota commentators and viewers often refer to a whiffed Black Hole that catches no enemy heroes as a «PGG Black Hole» or simply a «PGG».

PGG is permanent captain of his team TheRetry, infamous for disbanding and rebanding constantly. It often consists of lesser known players that are trying to break into the higher level of competition.
