Team Spirit's new captain talks about the challenges of FISSURE Playground 2

Nikita “Pantomem” Balaganin said that Team Spirit showed a decent but not perfect result in the group stage of the FISSURE Playground 2 Dota 2 tournament, as the match against Aurora proved to be quite difficult for the team.

The new Team Spirit captain announced this on Telegram.

"The group stage of FISSURE Playground 2 has ended for Spirit with a score of 6-1 on maps and 3-0 on series. The result is good. Not perfect, but good. The last evening series with Aurora was quite difficult and exhausting. We finished it quite late, and by the end I felt that I had little strength left. But we won, and that's the most important thing."

According to Nikita “Pantomem” Balaganin, the victory on the first map was not easy for Team Spirit players, and due to critical mistakes on the second map, the opponents were able to beat the esports team despite the winning draft.

“The first map was very easy. On the second, I think we made too many critical mistakes. Despite the fact that we had a good draft, when our opponent took the lead, Storm was very comfortable.”

Nevertheless, the player noted that Team Spirit played well on the third map, which secured the team's victory.
