Talon Esports began the 2023 year by competing in the M. Invitational 2023, where they finished in fourth place and earned $5,000. Third place at the DPC SEA 2023 Tour 1: Division I earned the first DPC points, $27,000, and a trip to Lima, Peru. Before the first Major tournament of the season, 23savage and crew won the BTS Pro Series Season 14: Southeast Asia for $16,000. 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.

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.
