The team also earned the right to play at Lima Major 2023, the first Major tournament of the year.

At ESL One Berlin Major 2023, the team fell short, as a 9th-12th place finish in the standings did not earn them any honours. Team Spirit won the final round of the regional league, winning all of their matches. Thus, Miposhka and his team earned the grand prize of $30,000, DPC points and a trip to Bali Major 2023. In between ranking tournaments, Spirit played at DreamLeague Season 20, where they finished in the top 5 and received $52,500. But in Bali the players had the same bad luck as in Berlin.

Previously, Team Spirit took part in the Elite League. The reigning champions of The International received an invitation to the second group stage. But for fans of the club, their performance was frankly unsatisfactory. Team Spirit lost four matches in Group A, finishing with a 2-1-4 record.
