Team Spirit manager responded sharply to Maelstorm's criticism

Dmitry "Korb3n" Belov, the manager of Team Spirit, responded to criticism from Vladimir "Maelstorm" Kuzminov, explaining his position.

He posted his response to the well-known Dota 2 commentator's criticism on his Telegram channel.

"Maelstorm is so out of touch that I'll have to go over the Bali timeline once again. The organizers took over 12 hours to make a verdict on Pure. They changed their final decision twice with two-hour intervals. That's the nonsense, not Azure Ray's whining. Show me the contradictions in my text, Mr. Maelstorm?"

Korb3n directly addressed the prominent commentator, clarifying his stance with another analogy that vividly describes the situation surrounding the Super Dimensional Vision Snow Ruyi scandal.

"Regarding laws: 'bad analogy,' 'they were written over the years,' and so on. To me, it's a straightforward analogy. I can simplify it further—try using the name 'Mao Zedong' at an ESL tournament and see what happens, while Clavision bans it. Because different tournament organizers have different rules. I can't simplify it more. It's very strange to not understand this. Whether you like it or not—it's the way it is"

Previously, a public dispute erupted between Team Spirit manager and Maelstorm over the scandal at Super Dimensional Vision Snow Ruyi, where an Azure Ray player violated tournament rules and received ambiguous punishment for it.
