From Eastern Europe Qualifiers to The International Champions, we'd like to officially congratulate Team Spirit on their monumental accomplishment.

In one of the greatest Finals ever witnessed, Team Spirit triumphed in a winner-take-all game five against arguably the most feared Dota team in the world, PSG.LGD. Fittingly, the lineups for the deciding game set two dominant strategies of the tournament against each other, and in the end Team Spirit's Magnus-first draft was too much for PSG.LGD's vaunted Tiny/Lycan pair. They claimed the final game on the main stage — and with it the Aegis — just as they had won the first game of the Main Event, with an aggressive and exciting style of play that improved each day and thrilled Dota fans worldwide along the way.

As bearers of the ultimate symbol of victory, these names shall forever be inscribed upon the Aegis of Champions:

2021 - Team Spirit

• Illya "Yatoro" Mulyarchuk
  
• Alexander "TORONTOTOKYO" Khertek
  
• Magomed "Collapse" Khalilov
  
• Miroslaw "Mira" Kolpakov
  
• Yaroslav "Miposhka" Naidenov

If you missed any of the tournament, or just want to rewatch some of the incredible moments and dazzling plays, head over to The International website, where you can find replays for every match. There are photos and videos from the event over on our Youtube Main Event and Event Entertainment playlists, Dota 2 Instagram, and the Dota 2 Flickr — which also features content stretching back to the earliest incarnations of TI.

We would like to thank all of the players, talent, and everyone in the Dota community for once again helping bring this celebration to life. The road to The International was not straightforward this time around, but we hope you enjoyed the world-class Dota and all of the broadcast content from this year's tournament as much as we did.

For fans of DOTA: Dragon's Blood, the next hero joining the battle of the Ancients is already a familiar face.

This fall, unleash the dauntless strength of Marci as she proves some loyalties transcend barriers and takes her place amongst the most stalwart heroes in Dota 2.

Her journey begins above with help from 2D animation by Studio Mir and she'll enter the mix in a new Dota 2 update coming soon.

The International Main Event kicks off at National Arena in Bucharest in less than twelve hours. Tune in from 10 am EEST via the DPC website, the Dota client, or over on Twitch to catch all of the main stage action as the final 16 teams face off for the Aegis.

Team Standings
After a hard-fought Group Stage, group leaders PSG.LGD and Invictus Gaming will be joined in the Upper Bracket by Virtus Pro, OG, T1, Team Secret, Vici Gaming, and Team Spirit. In the Lower Bracket, Team Undying, Evil Geniuses, Beastcoast, Quincy Crew, Fnatic, Elephant, Team Aster, and Alliance will all need to battle out of a best-of-one elimination match with their tournament hopes on the line. As those squads move to the main stage, SG esports and Thunder Predator exit the tournament as the first teams to fall. We salute their accomplishments in earning a place amongst the finest teams in the world and wish them luck in their efforts to return next year.

Crimson Witness Treasures
Watching matches live at National Arena isn't an option for fans this year, but that doesn't mean ticket-holders have to miss out on one of the traditional perks of attending the event.

You won't need to sign in or out for each game, just make sure to register your account once over on the Crimson Witness page to ensure your eligibility.

The Secret Shop

Giving third party studios and individual casters a place to connect with their specific audiences is great for everyone who loves Dota and The International.

Our rules didn't carefully consider how TI is unique among the DOTA events throughout the year, how rebroadcasting affects different communities around the world, and given the feedback we've received, we'd like to fix that. We agree that these communities thriving is great for everyone.

We are going to remove the 15 minute delay requirement on third party streams for the remainder of the event, and then reevaluate the approach overall after The International.

We are seeing some confusion around the requirements that apply to community casts of The International.

As in previous years, anyone can do a community broadcast if (1) they base it only on DOTATV and their own self-made content and (2) they are strictly non-commercial in nature.

Nothing is new about this and Valve has imposed no broadcast delay on these non-commercial community casts. These rules apply worldwide without distinction.

What is new this year is that Valve has also allowed a limited number of video platforms to create custom casts through casters who are under agreement with the video platforms. These are commercial casts and therefore not permitted under Valve's community stream policy.

For these commercial casts a 15 minute streaming delay is being imposed. The video platforms who employ commercial casters all agreed to this delay in their license agreements, and it should not have come as a surprise to them.
