Team Spirit manager Dmitry "Korb3n" Belov highlighted the importance of motivation in Dota 2 but emphasised that discipline plays a more significant role in esports.
He stated that motivation is a short-term phenomenon, whereas discipline has a more enduring impact. According to him, motivation can fade quickly, similar to how someone might be inspired by a commercial but then revert to old habits. In contrast, discipline provides stability and consistency, preventing drastic fluctuations in motivation levels.
Regarding Team Spirit's choice of prioritising the Chinese tournament, the manager explained that the team wanted to gain experience by competing against Chinese teams, which led them to select the event in China.
The Super Dimensional Vision Snow Ruyi tournament will take place from 28 July to 4 August 2024 in China, with a prize pool of $500,000. Teams NAVI and Virtus.pro from Eastern Europe will also participate in the tournament.
