Team Spirit mocked Team Liquid after their victory at The International 2023

Team Liquid nearly conceded the first map due to a lack of coordination in their actions. Team Spirit even had the impression that their opponents were AFK.

Such a statement was made by Yaroslav "Miposhka" Naidyonov, the captain of Team Spirit, in a post-match interview.

"I think they themselves did not play the first map very cohesively. It felt like they were AFK, roughly speaking. In the first minute, I was on Phoenix, farming the lane for four minutes, and they were doing nothing at all"

However, he admitted that in the second map, Team Spirit lost in the draft, which led to a score of 2:1 in favor of the tournament favorites.

Recall that after three maps, Team Spirit managed to defeat Team Liquid and move closer to the grand final of TI12.
