NS stated that Team Spirit benefited from losing to Gaimin Gladiators

Team Spirit was better off losing only in the early stages of the BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024 playoffs to get in shape and start playing at full strength than in the tournament's grand final.

Such a statement was made by Yaroslav "NS" Kuznetsov, a streamer and former esports player, during a Twitch broadcast.

"A little spanking won't hurt. Better somewhere in the winners' bracket at the beginning than later in the grand final. Team Spirit will now scratch their heads, draw some conclusions"

The same opinion was expressed by Vladimir "RodjER" Nikogosyan, former player of L1ga Team, emphasizing that the defeat to Gaimin Gladiators freed Team Spirit from stagnation and will allow them to develop further. Therefore, the defeat in the match played into the hands of the reigning Dota 2 world champions.

Recall that earlier, Gaimin Gladiators humiliated Team Spirit after an easy victory at BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024.
