Achievements
Among the team’s most impressive achievements is the impressive amount of money that they won during the same year they started playing, in 2014. For their hard work in and leading up to the International 2014 competition, Newbee took home a jaw-dropping $5,000,000 which was a win large enough to give the team a taste of things to come, as well as showing the world that there was a new force on the scene that would not go unnoticed.
Over the years, Newbee has won some truly impressive prizes for the expert gameplay. The largest amount of money that the team has won in one game so far was in the International 2017 competition. It was there that they were able to take second place and a whopping 3.9 million dollars. The team’s win in the International 2017 was hard won but they succeeded as a result of good strategy and teamwork. To take home the prize money, Newbee defeated many world-class teams, such as LGD, Forever Young, Invictus Gaming, and Evil Geniuses.
Another notable win was the Dota 2 Professional League during season 2. The main opponent of that match was IG Vitality who was a very tough competitor but ended up folding under Newbee’s pressure. Out of three games, IG Vitality won none of them, giving a shut-out win to Newbee. For their prowess in that matchup, the team was able to take home a quarter of a million dollars.
More recently, at the ESL One Genting – held in 2018, Newbee took home yet another triple-digit win. After besting everyone along the way, through qualifying games, main event matchups, semi-finals and finals, the team was able to secure themselves a win of more than $160K. Though that final win was not easily taken, it was well deserved for their fantastic playing.

They have managed to rack up their millions in just a matter of a few short years, and when you look at their recent successes it is pretty clear that these guys are going to continue stacking their money.
