Korb3n accused Valve of unfair decision regarding Team Spirit at TI14

Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov said that Valve acted unfairly by changing the rules during The International 2025, which forced Team Spirit to play against Team Falcons for a spot in the playoffs.

The Team Spirit manager shared this opinion on Twitch.

“Actually, the problem isn't even with Team Falcons. It's just that changing the rules on the third day is nonsense. It's completely absurd.”

According to Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov, the situation reminded him of the BetBoom Team case, when the team was penalized three times during the tournament, which ended with the complete suspension of Ivan ‘Pure’ Moskalenko, while Neta “33” Shapira's violations cost the player a minor temporary penalty.

"It's the same as when we were all against BetBoom Team being punished three times in a row at the tournament. It's absurd on about the same level. This simply shouldn't happen, and that's it. What happened now — well, God bless him. This should never happen again in the future. First, it was just a bonus time penalty, then something else, then one card loss, and then Pure was completely disqualified. Complete absurdity.

At the same time, when 33 was listening to Spotify, his team was given a 60-second penalty. This should never happen. And here it's the same thing. There should be no rule changes."

Earlier, Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov talked about how Team Spirit refused to make a planned substitution in their lineup.
