Korb3n directly stated that Yatoro might not be taken back into Team Spirit

Dmitry "Korb3n" Belov, the manager of Team Spirit, stated that Ilya "Yatoro" Mulyarchuk might not be taken back into the roster if the team performs well during the season, and the player has been warned about this.

This statement was made during a Twitch stream.

"In a situation where Spirit is doing well. For example, in April. Unfortunately, there would be no place for him then. We discussed this with him. We are not going to remove anyone, even though Ilya is our legend"

However, Korb3n clarified that if the roster cannot deliver results in tournaments, it is quite possible that Yatoro could return to the carry position. The manager also noted that this could happen even in the middle of the Dota 2 season.

"Let's imagine a situation where Spirit is doing poorly, and it's already February. The team has been playing together for six months, but things aren't going well. Then Ilyuha says: That's it. I've rested and am ready to return. If Spirit is doing poorly, we will obviously say: Please"

Korb3n emphasized that for the two-time champion, this situation won't come as a surprise, as they have already discussed it and warned him about the nuances. Yatoro himself has also hinted that he might return to the pro scene, possibly with another team.
