Captain of Team Spirit commented on the unexpected defeat at ESL One Birmingham 2024

According to Naydyonov, the captain of Team Spirit, he found a draw versus Heroic in the series at ESL One Birmingham 2024 as being fair. Nevertheless, it was surprising for the audience that a map was lost by the global champions to the tournament’s underdogs.

The player in esports posted this on his club’s Telegram channel addressed to fans who were curious about the win and loss of their favorite team.

"We lost 1:1 in both series today - against Heroic and Gaimin Gladiators. In general, matches turned out pretty good. Of course, there are some mistakes that we will work on. We already have concluded something from today after discussions. I don’t say we are happy but neither do we feel upset. This is just beginning, so to say. And we’ll continue trying and working more to give you nice games"

Miposhka added that he is satisfied with his team's achievement but admitted there are errors which they are going to correct as part of their roster changes. Moreover, even during The International 2023, Team Spirit managed to draw against Gaimin Gladiators too – its main rival. Despite this fact many observers and experts were amazed when world champions lost one card of thirteen available rounds in early stages - this time it was Heroic whom according to previous years prediction may become first out at ESL One Birmingham 2024.

It is important not forget that earlier Team Spirit made an unexpected statement concerning Clement "Puppey" Ivanov being captain of Team Secret.
