NS spoke candidly about the situation at Team Spirit, urging the team to address its issues

Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov is convinced that Team Spirit’s Dota 2 roster is currently going through a crisis, and the team needs to urgently find a solution to the situation so as not to devalue the esports organization’s legacy.

The streamer shared his opinion on Telegram.

“Something is clearly going wrong at Spirit. This needs to be addressed right now, otherwise they risk gradually losing everything they’ve achieved.”

According to Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov, situations regularly arise within the team that point to internal problems, despite the lack of official statements. The streamer noted that the community is currently discussing many reasons for Team Spirit’s decline in performance, as well as the organization’s possible next steps, but it is clear to the content creator that the Dota 2 roster is, in most cases, failing to meet fans’ expectations.

“There are always substitutions, always someone resting. They’re no longer providing clear information. It’s unclear: what, why, where, and for what purpose. And now Milan is making mistake after mistake, yet there’s still no coherent explanation.

There are constant rumors swirling around Spirit: someone’s being cut from the roster, someone’s being swapped out, someone’s leaving, someone’s joining. In other words, Spirit is losing its edge, guys. Something’s broken. Maybe someone from management left—someone who was very important. Maybe everyone’s gotten complacent, including Corben. Maybe it’s something else. I don’t know. But lately, not only have Spirit’s results been worse than expected—and everyone has come to expect more from them—but news like this keeps popping up.”

As a reminder, Mikhail “Misha” Agatov previously named two main candidates to replace Nikita “Panto” Balaganin on Team Spirit.
