Group A of The Road to The International was nothing to scoff at.

But despite the massive target, Team Spirit went undefeated in their group at The International 2023.
Among their various matches, Team Spirit have embraced the developing meta while also remaining close to their roots. Larl tended to stick to his Kunkka and Invoker, while Collapse experiments with the new meta offlaners, Spirit Breaker and Bristleback. On the other hand, Yatoro, jsut plays whatever he is feeling that game because of his ever expanding hero pool.
Now, Team Spirit heads to Phase Two of The International Group Stage, the Seeding Decider. This phase of The International sets the stage for the main event.
