Korb3n joked about potential issues in the event of Yellow Submarine's success

Dmitry "Korb3n" Belov made a joke about the prospects of competition between Yellow Submarine and Team Spirit.

The corresponding statement from the Team Spirit manager was made in an interview with a representative of the YouTube channel Ultimate Dota during the BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024 championship.

"If Yellow Submarine becomes a tier-1 club, it will put me in a tough spot. Literally, because Team Spirit will come to me and say, 'Dude, you messed up, either you go back to your Submarine or you do something about it.' That's the first thing. Also, I would like all Yellow Submarine players to have a bright future. I mean, for all of them to become tier-1 players, play in good teams. In this team or any other, but for it to be good, for them to enjoy what they do. In general, for everything to be great for them. Because just like in Team Spirit, there are very good people playing."

Yellow Submarine is not currently a direct competitor to Team Spirit, as the team has not qualified for tier-1 championships where they could compete with Korb3n's main proteges. However, the teams clashed in the qualifiers for ESL One Birmingham 2024, where Yellow Submarine managed to take one map from Team Spirit, but ultimately lost the match and were eliminated from the qualifiers after losing to Klim Sani4 (1win) in the lower bracket. It is worth noting that most of the members of the Yellow Submarine roster from 2020 are currently playing for Team Spirit.

It's worth reminding that earlier, Team Falcons' midlaner Stanislav "Malr1ne" Potorak criticized the 1v1 tournament at BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024 after being eliminated.
