Team Spirit has unexpectedly replaced another team member

Team Spirit has unexpectedly replaced their coach, Airat "Silent" Gaziev, with Alexander "Accell" Litvinenko, without making an official announcement.

This information came to light through a document published by Liquipedia.

It is reported that Accell is listed as the coach of Team Spirit for the 1win Series Dota 2 Fall, where the team is competing. The organization has not officially announced any changes, but it is speculated that this might be related to Silent being on leave until 2025. Previously, Dmitry "Korb3n" Belov attempted to fulfill the coaching duties, but the team has now opted to bring in the former PSG Quest coach, who led his previous team to a 5th-6th place finish at Riyadh Masters 2024.

However, some fans suggest that this could be a trial run for Accell as a potential permanent coach for Team Spirit. For now, there is no official confirmation of this theory.

As a reminder, Alan "Satanic" Gallyamov previously revealed how he became the new carry for Team Spirit.
