The final of The International 2021 turned out to be quite intriguing, because in the main battle for an impressive prize of $ 18.2 million, two teams, completely different in style and luck, came together. The favorite, which is quite understandable, was the PSG.LGD team – for the entire time in the tournament (not counting the final) they managed to win absolutely all maps except one (the second against T1), literally going through all the opponents. The second contender for first place has a fundamentally different situation at The International 2021 – Team Spirit went to the lower bracket in the very first match, losing to Invictus Gaming 2-1, where the roster had to make their way to the final through Fnatic, OG, Virtus.pro and the same Invictus Gaming.
Moreover, having made their way through the low bracket, Team Spirit proved to be very worthy in the final as well – the team easily took two maps in a row from PSG.LGD. In the first match, the favorites lost with a score of 5:18, in the second – 8:24. Everyone has already started to bury PSG.LGD, but they were considered favorites for a reason – they took the next two cards with the same ease (on the 4th map, the opponent made only two kills). Accordingly, the teams reached the final game (the final is held in the Best of five format, that is, the one who has more wins in 5 matches wins) under equal conditions – the one who takes the final card will become the champion.
Naturally, the final match was held in a very tense mode – the teams now and then “exchanged” on the lanes, using their signature heroes. As a result, Team Spirit made fewer mistakes, behaved more restrained and did not go beyond the towers (hello PSG.LGD in the 19th minute), which resulted in an advantage in gold and, as a result, a third victory in five matches. Command Team Spirit becomes the winner of The International 2021, takes 18.2 million dollars for the first place, and for the second opponent PSG.LGD receives “only” 5.2 million dollars.
