Team Spirit has disappointed its fans in the Dota 2 Elite League 2024 group stage, where they currently find themselves at the bottom of the Dota 2 competition. For a team of their own standards and history on the scene, the reality is disappointing.
The team’s Dota 2 manager, Dmitriy “Korb3n” Belov, refused to give any explanation for the team’s performance in the recent competition.
“Listen, I would love to jump to Nix’s stream, but at least when we win a couple of games. Currently, I can only make excuses, but I don’t want to just make excuses. And at the moment, many questions remain open with my team. Therefore, it would be weird to discuss things with a smart face when your own house is on fire.” said Korb3n.
Team Spirit only got a single victory in the series which was against Team OG during the Elite League 2024. Support player Miroslav “Mira” Kolpakov believes that the win was achieved due to improved discipline.
While speaking in a post-match interview, he mentioned that the team struggled in previous games, but he also expressed optimism for improvement. He also addressed the team’s ability to gain an early lead in games but also admitted that there are minor issues related to teamwork and discipline that need to be sorted.
Furthermore, he believes that their better draft in the second map against OG was instrumental in their victory by dictating the pace of the game. The win gives Team Spirit a slim chance to move further into the Elite League.
Their next matches will be crucial to that happening as they set to face Azure Ray and PSG Quest. It’s already a hill to climb trying to beat Azure Ray, as Azure Ray has been brilliant in recent tournaments, including Elite League Dota 2.
