Dota 2 TI champions: All The International winners in history

The International, more commonly known as TI in the Dota 2 community, is one of esports’ most significant annual events. As the game is set to host its 12th iteration of the championship this year, we have put together a list of all the TI champions in the event’s storied history.

The International is undoubtedly the most prestigious championship in Dota 2. From staggering prize pools to top-notch event production, it is safe to say that TI is the pinnacle of Dota 2 esports.

Over the years, TI has seen many teams try and conquer the Aegis of Champions. However, the event is very tricky, and it is rare for the tournament favorites to go all the way and lift the trophy.

With rumors suggesting that Valve could be making a significant shuffle to the Dota Pro Circuit, the upcoming TI12 might mark a historical shift in the community’s esports structure. However, there has been no official confirmation from Valve at this point, and these changes are expected to be announced during or after The International 12.

Before heading into the list of TI winners over the years, you should note that most teams have won TI only once, with the fabled roster of OG being the only exception, lifting back-to-back championships in 2018 and 2019. Additionally, Tundra Esports’ coach, Kurtis ‘Aui_2000’ Ling, is the only player in history to win the tournament in two different roles (player and coach).

As is evident from the list above, only five individuals have claimed the Aegis of Champions twice as players. While Aui_2000 has won the tournament twice as well, he did it once as a coach and once as a player.

Having said that, there are quite a few participants at TI12 who will be looking to claim the title of two-time TI champions for themselves this year. Here’s a list featuring all the past TI champions and how many times they have hoisted the Aegis of Champions.
