Among their achievements, the players had a successful finish in the DPC WEU 2023 Tour 1: Division II, finishing in second place and earning $16,000. But then a seventh place finish at the DPC WEU 2023 Tour 2: Division I sent them back to Division II.

In the quarter-finals, KZ Team defeated Ram Squad 2-1, before losing to Level UP on two consecutive maps and dropping to the lower grid. A 2:1 win over Ancient Tribe put the Greek-Georgian squad into the semi-finals of the losers' bracket. But Team Sexy were stronger than KZ Team.
