Foundation and early success (2020–2021)

In December 2020, the team signed the roster of Yellow Submarine, composed of players Ilya "Yatoro" Mulyarchuk, Alexander "TORONTOTOKYO" Khertek, Magomed "Collapse" Khalilov and Yaroslav "Miposhka" Naidenov, with Miroslaw "Mira" Kolpakov later joining the roster ahead of the Eastern European qualifiers for The International 2021.[6] There, the roster defeated Team Empire 3–2 in a close series to qualify for the main event.[7]

At the main event, the roster secured a place in the upper bracket after going 10–6 in the group stage, where they were set to face Invictus Gaming.[8] There, the team lost the series 2–1 to drop down to the lower bracket, where the team made a miraculous run to the finals after notably defeating the two-time defending champions OG, Virtus.pro, the team that had sent them down to the lower bracket Invictus Gaming, and Team Secret to face off against PSG.LGD in the grand finals.[9] In the final, Team Spirit won the first two games, but lost the next two games in quick fashion.[10] Needing another win to avoid losing the series and being reverse-swept, Team Spirit subsequently won game five, making them International champions and winning them a total of US$18,208,300, the largest purse ever awarded in esports.[11][12] With this win, they were the first Eastern European team to win an International since Natus Vincere in the inaugural International in 2011.[13] To commemorate their win, the team also made an appearance on Valve's True Sight documentary series.[14]

Restructuring and second International victory (2022–2023)

The team continued their strong form into the 2022 season after facing off against in a series of rematches against PSG.LGD. The first of two rematches led to the team winning the PGL Arlington Major with a 3–1 score, while the team took a second-place finish at the inaugural Riyadh Masters after losing the final 2–0.[15][16][17] The team ultimately secured a direct invite to The International 2022 by finishing in the top 12 of that season's Dota Pro Circuit, where despite being touted as favorites to win the event, the team placed 13th–16th at the event after losing to Boom Esports in a shocking upset.[18][19]

Heading into the 2023 season, the organisation announced the departure of TORONTOTOKYO, with Denis "Larl" Sigitov replacing him on the roster.[20][21] The roster found success midway into the season, after defeating Team Liquid 3–1 in the Grand Finals of the 2023 Riyadh Masters, receiving US$5,000,000 for winning the tournament.[22][23] The team later won their second consecutive tournament, defeating Shopify Rebellion in the DreamLeague Season 21 grand finals.[24][25] That same year, Team Spirit defeated Gaimin Gladiators in the Grand Finals of The International 2023, making them the first team since OG to become repeat champions of an International.[26][27]

Inconsistent form and restructuring (2024–present)

After a string of poor results in the early part of the 2024 season, Team Spirit defeated Xtreme Gaming 3–2 in the final of PGL Wallachia Season 1.[28] The organisation was one of six teams to receive a direct invite to The International 2024.[29] Albeit, the roster were unable to defend their title, losing to Xtreme Gaming and placing 9th–12th at the event.[30]

The team underwent significant changes in September 2024, with Yatoro and Mira departing the roster to take a break from the professional scene.[31] To replace them, the team signed Alan "Satanic" Gallyamov and Aleksandr "Rue" Filin from their academy team, whilst Abdimalik "Malik" Sailau was signed to stand-in for Collapse until the end of the year.[32]
