Streamer Ilya 'Illidan' Pivtsaev commented on Team Spirit's performance and results in Dota 2. The clip from the content creator's stream was shared on the Telegram channel LEGENDWP.
Illidan observed that Team Spirit often excels in the early game, but then tends to falter and lose. He noted that the team's era has been ending for three years, and it seems to drag on without resolution. He admitted that the Riyadh Masters results were disappointing both for him and for the team. However, he emphasised that the discussion should consider that The International has yet to be played and that the new patch is still evolving with strategies not yet solidified. He pointed out that the current patch is significantly different from previous ones.
Earlier, Illidan had remarked on Team Spirit's performance at the Riyadh Masters 2024, suggesting that the team had not yet adapted to the new meta of auras and seven-core strategies.
