Team Spirit stated that they will punish Larl for abusing bugs

Dmitriy “Korb3n” Belov, the manager of Team Spirit, revealed that the club will penalize Denis "Larl" Sigitov for exploiting the smoke bug.

He released this on his telegram channel.

“I have repeated it in stream before, it is an ESL decision but he will be punished nonetheless”

Fans received the support they needed from Korb3n about Team Spirit Larl and begged for a punishment but emphasized on the point that it isn't Team Spirit final say. The manager seems to have aimed his statement at the organizers of the tournament who he thinks are to come up with a response on whether the midlaner or the entire squad will be penalized for bug abusing.

This came soon after the viewers realized Larl to using the same glitch in the qualifier matches as NAVI Junior who were already banned. A bulk of Dota 2 admirers clamored for ESL to not remain passive and do something about it.

It’s worth mentioning that Korb3n also pointed out a rule nuance in ESL's guidelines that could help Team Spirit avoid punishment for bug abuse.
