At Lima Major 2023, Talon Esports sensationally won bronze and $75,000 in prize money. This performance made it clear that Talon can trouble the big name teams this year and are focused on results. A win at DPC SEA 2023 Tour 2: Division I also earned the team a slot at the second Major event of the season. An 11th-12th place finish at DreamLeague Season 19 secured the players $20,000. At ESL One Berlin Major 2023, Talon Esports finished in the top 8 of the tournament and were able to earn $12,500 and additional DPC points. DPC SEA 2023 Tour 3: Division I was the last event of the DPC season for 23savage and his teammates, as fourth place prevented them from travelling to Bali. Therefore, Talon Esports was left to finish the tournaments of ESL Pro Tour Dota 2 2023 series. In DreamLeague Season 20, the representatives of Southeast Asia took the fourth place and received $85,000 as a reward. During the season, the Thai squad managed to earn 1120 DPC points, which was enough for a direct invitation to The International 2023.
Prior to participating in DreamLeague Season 21, Talon Esports travelled to Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, where they competed at the Riyadh Masters 2023.

That was good enough to qualify for the top set of play-offs. Talon Esports started the final stage with a 2-1 win over Quest Esports. In the semifinals of the top set, Team Liquid became too much of a challenge for them. A 1-2 defeat sent Talon Esports into the losers' bracket. In the quarter-finals of the lower set Talon defeated 9Pandas on two maps in a row and advanced to the semi-finals where Gaimin Gladiators were waiting for them. A sensational win over the reigning three-time Major champions in a full bo3 series put Talon Esports into the final of the lower grid. But Team Liquid were still no match for 23savage and crew.
