Team Spirit carry player Ilya "Raddan" Mulyarchuk (Yatoro) commented on the result of the match against LGD Gaming in the group stage of Riyadh Masters 2024 for Dota 2. He believes that a mediocre draft prevented his team from winning the first map of the series.
"We had a very bad draft on the first map. Because of this, we had no one and nothing to play with. The enemy Clockwerk just enters the jungle and shows everyone. We can't catch and kill anyone. As a result, we got crushed without a chance.
On the second map, our draft was much more lively and better. We could just play Dota, press buttons, and enjoy life. We could come up with strategies and make calls; everything was clear. We won all three lanes and secured the victory." Ilya "Raddan" Mulyarchuk explained.
The match between Team Spirit and LGD Gaming ended in a 1-1 draw. Detailed statistics of the match can be found here. Next, the teams will play against Aurora Gaming and Gaimin Gladiators, respectively. Both matches will start at 18:15 MSK on July 13.
