The captain of Team Spirit explained why they lost to Team Yandex

Nikita “Panto” Balaganin said that Team Yandex defeated Team Spirit in the grand final of DreamLeague 27 because they adapted better to patch 7.40.

The team captain shared this in his Telegram channel.

“After the series there was a constant feeling that Team Yandex adapted to the patch better. Their heroes felt more imbalanced: you can point out Tidehunter who won every map, KotL who even from a hard lane had big impact and also Tiny who caused problems not only because he could go mid but also because he can be a position four. Our answers to most of these heroes which we used to win before this series stopped working. I hope the New Year and a new patch will bring us long-awaited victories and you keep following us”

According to him the fate of the match was decided by three heroes which seemed to Panto like real imba. He explained that the opponents had good drafts while their own heroes stopped working after the release of patch 7.40.

The captain of Team Spirit hopes that next year the team will be able to adapt better to the new meta, start winning tournaments again and make the club’s fans happy.
