Team Spirit manager Dmitry «Korb3n» Belov discussed why Dota 2 teams make roster changes. In his opinion, there's no other way to improve when results are unsatisfactory.
«Currently, teams don't make changes as often due to a shortage of players. More and more often we're seeing rosters staying the same. When you're losing, you change the roster. For example, Virtus.pro—how long did they go without making changes? A year or two? Generally, there's not much else you can do. You play for a year without winning anything, and in such a situation, you look for better players. A change can strengthen the team not just individually, but also outside of Dota. Someone might think differently, take on captaincy, be ready to shoulder more responsibility, build discipline, and so on», — Dmitry «Korb3n» Belov.
Previously, Belov assembled a dream team for Dota 2 without including any Spirit players. The lineup featured two players from Eastern Europe: Danil «gpk~» Skutin and Ilya «Kiritych» Ulyanov. More details can be found on our website.
