And, as the group stage for TI11 kicks off, the fans have already locked in their pick.\u00a0 It seems like the wider Dota 2 community, or at least those that are on social media, have decided it is finally time for PSG.LGD to break their streak of second-place finishes and other near misses.\u00a0 Across more than 20,000 votes via a poll run by Dota community man Wykrhm Reddy, LGD received almost half of the total votes at 46.89 percent. Only two other teams received more than 10 percent overall: OG and Team Spirit. Only eight teams actually ranked on this vote, while the other 12 combined for a total of 10.8 percent.\u00a0 This might just be a fan vote, but LGD has been one of the favorites to win TI in each of the last two seasons, despite all of the complications with China\u2019s Dota Pro Circuit this year.

This means the duo and their teammates are gunning for the crown one more time before a potential rebuild.\u00a0 It won\u2019t be an easy road, especially since Spirit still stands in their way and other favorites like OG, Entity, BOOM Esports, and the red-hot Team Secret are all equally ready to battle for the title of best Dota team in the world.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/17151439\/PSG-LGD-TI10-3.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/708843"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=708843"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/708843\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":708853,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/708843\/revisions\/708853"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/686484"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=708843"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=708843"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=708843"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=708843"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=708843"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=708843"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=708843"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
