The majority of the prize pool went to the Russian competitors from Team Spirit, who this year was made up of newer recruits like Illya Mulyarchuk (Yatoro), Alexander Khertek (TORONTOTOKYO), Magomed Khalilov (Collapse), Miroslaw Kolpakov (Mira) and Yaroslav Naidenov (Miposhka).
This is a marked improvement from the last International (DOTA 2 The International 2019) where a Team Secret made up of different members came 4th, losing out to the European team called OG. OG have fallen quite far down the league in terms of overall The International tournament performance, coming in 7th at DOTA 2 TI 10.
