The bulk of the roster shuffle post-TI12 has ended. Our Dota 2 staff offer their opinions on how teams fared.
The post-TI12 roster shuffle has come to an end following Team Spirit's impressive sweep through Gaimin Gladiators at The International 2023.
Team dynamics and composition are quite unpredictable. In a world where teams are willing to do whatever it takes to seize the Aegis of Champions at the end of the year, often unexpected alliances are formed and other bonds are broken. From friend to foe, from brothers to enemies, anything goes in Dota 2 rosters.
Our Dota 2 staff took a look at the new lineups and shared their opinions and hot takes on which teams are the biggest winners, losers, and everything in between.
