Nix unexpectedly defended Team Spirit, explaining the poor results of the roster

Alexander “Nix” Levin said that there is no need to worry about Team Spirit results, because by Riyadh Masters 2026 the team will ramp up and start winning again, this already happened in previous seasons

He said this during a stream on Twitch.

“Team Spirit always gets in shape closer to Esports World Cup. Also the team had time to rest. First Larl left, then Collapse. The roster constantly plays with stand-ins, it has a new coach, it lost its position five. Most likely now Spirit will go all in before EWC and TI, and only then you can really judge”

Nix explained that the players had a lot of rest, and the roster is in constant reshuffles and plays with stand-ins. He also reminded that the team changed the coach and this affects the results. Nevertheless, he calmed the fans and thinks that the team will get in form closer to Riyadh Masters

The streamer added that only closer to such a major tournament it will be possible to judge the real condition and prospects of Team Spirit on the Dota 2 pro scene
