Team Spirit refused to participate in a prestigious tournament, citing the reason

Team Spirit refused to participate in Clavision Masters 2025: Snow-Ruyi due to unsuitable dates and a hard road, so the team decided to rest after Riyadh Masters 2025.

This was revealed by Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov, Team Spirit manager, during a stream on Twitch.

"Well, it's not the same in terms of dates. We did a lot of preparation for Riyadh, the Chinese tourney, I think it's four days after Riyadh. Here we have a media day and then three days later we fly to the Chinese tournament. It's better to exhale. There's still a Chinese tournament - if it was in the capital, but it's a sweltering drive to get there. You fly to Beijing, then it's a two-hour bus ride one way. I mean, we would have loved to go, but the dates didn't work for us. If it wasn't in July, but around August 10, we would have gone"

Korb3n explained that the players are tired after EWC 2025 and they still have a media day, and the tournament starts a week after the championship. He clarified that if Clavision Masters 2025 was starting next month, Team Spirit would definitely participate, but this way they have to cancel.

In addition, he specified that the road to the venue is also problematic, because in addition to the flight, it takes two hours by bus to get to the venue, which will have a negative impact on the players. That's why, the manager stressed, they chose to rest instead of participating in the dash-1 tournament.

Earlier Team Falcons knew that they would lose to Team Spirit at the Riyadh Masters 2025 - Malr1ne made a statement.
