Team Spirit captain names main reason for victory over Team Liquid

Nikita “Panto” Balaganin said that Team Spirit won key fights in the match against Team Liquid in the upper bracket of the PGL Wallachia Season 6 playoffs. The esports team also demonstrated higher mechanical skills and secured successful drafts.

The Team Spirit captain announced this on Telegram.

“We won key fights. Most importantly, we found important frags with smokes, and they didn't. We were better in micro and drafts. We won logically.”

According to Nikita “Panto” Balaganin, his team was able to play as effectively as possible at the beginning of the first map, but later their opponents were able to take the lead. In the second game, Team Spirit managed to get a more advantageous draft, and on the decisive map of the series, the forces were relatively equal, but Nikita “Panto” Balaganin's team was able to perform better in fights.

"This is the first bo5 for Spirit with the updated roster. We are very happy, everyone played well and carried me. We hope that things will continue to go just as well. On the first map, it seemed that they had an easier draft, but we played well for the first 12 minutes. Then they caught us with Nagi's ultimate.

Maybe if I had stayed behind with Jax, I could have reached and knocked down SF's ult. It was easier for them to play on the map. It seemed like Underlord had a bad line, but he interfered a little with his auras. They managed to do better somehow.

On the next map, they decided it would be better to play against last pick. In the end, I think we managed to outdraft them. Yatoro pulled it off with Morpheus as last pick. On the third map, we had more or less equal drafts, but we just fought better in the moment."
