Dmitry Korb3n Belov, the manager of Team Spirit, provided comments on his personal Telegram channel regarding the announcement of the updated Dota 2 roster.
He confirmed that Collapse would return on January 1. He mentioned that Collapse had communicated his return dates in advance, stating that it was initially supposed to be in November, but after some consideration, it was pushed to January. The agreement with Malik entails his involvement with the team until January. Regarding Yatoro, there were no exact dates given for his return, but discussions ranged from a timeframe of six months to the entire season. Mira had indicated approximate dates for his return, suggesting around three months, plus or minus. He noted that if no one had gone on leave, there might have been some changes in the team; however, with everyone on holiday, there was little to discuss.
He also mentioned that the team's coach, Silent, had gone on leave as well, with an estimated return before the new year.
It is worth noting that Team Spirit finished in 9-12th place at The International 2024, the main championship for Dota 2 this year. The team also reached the top 8 at the Riyadh Masters 2024 in Saudi Arabia.
