Silent revealed the secret of Team Spirit's victory at The International 2023

Ilyat "Silent" Gaziev, the coach of Team Spirit, shared that his team begins preparing for potential opponents long before the tournament, working on possible scenarios for clashes with adversaries. Perhaps, it is precisely this approach that became the reason for Team Spirit's incredible performance at The International 2023.

The coach discussed this aspect during an interview with "INDIE".

"In my work, the main thing is for the team to work well before the tournament, and I knew the answers to the questions the enemy would ask. For example, if they pick a certain hero — who are you going to respond with? Everything doesn't happen in the moment; it's gradual work over the distance. If we spent a good half year preparing and lost — I even have inner peace: we did everything we could, and I did my part, so there's nothing to regret"

In addition, the manager, Dmitry "Korb3n" Belov, closely monitors that players adhere to their schedules and refrain from consuming alcohol, which is clearly outlined in the contract. This also positively influences Team Spirit's performance, according to Silent.

Recall that Miroslav "Mira" Kolpakov made an unexpected confession about Ilya "Yatoro" Mulyarchuk.
