Team Falcons player Andreas "Cr1t" Nielsen reflected on the strength of Team Spirit's Dota 2 lineup. He believes that the team is returning to its form from The International 2023.
"I wouldn't say that Spirit is at the same level as they were during The International 2023. Back then, their gameplay was incredible. Everyone knows they can bounce back, and it seems like they're working on it. It's starting to get a little scary, although Spirit isn't in top form yet. Let's see if they can finish the job." - Andreas "Cr1t" Nielsen
Cr1t also compared Gaimin Gladiators to Team Spirit, noting their similar playstyles.
"I have a lot of respect for Gaimin Gladiators. Playing against them feels somewhat similar to facing Spirit. You know what you're up against, but they'll still execute their plan and might defeat you." - Andreas "Cr1t" Nielsen
Falcons' midlaner Stanislav "Malr1ne" Potorak is missing PGL Wallachia due to visa issues. Leon "Nine" Kirilin is standing in for him. The lineup has advanced to the upper bracket semifinals, where they will face Team Liquid. The match is scheduled for May 17th at 19:00 MSK.
