Team Spirit will refuse to participate in a number of tournaments in the new Dota 2 season: what happened

Team Spirit will refuse to participate in several tournaments in the upcoming Dota 2 season to avoid overexerting the team and to take breaks for rest.

Yaroslav "Miposhka" Naidenov, the captain of Team Spirit, discussed the team's plans during an interview with Dota2.ru.

"I think, in any case, we won't play every single tournament. After all, we are human and we get tired sometimes. If we have the opportunity to choose... If we perform well in one tournament and then realize that another tournament won’t significantly affect our future in terms of points or invites to the next tournaments, we will certainly think a lot about which tournaments to skip in order to just take a break and catch our breath"

Miposhka emphasized that his roster will not participate in all tournaments to have the chance to rest. He mentioned that the team will consciously refuse some tournaments, while they may simply not qualify for others. The esports player noted that this does not apply to tournaments like DreamLeague, which are important for accumulating points and direct invites to Riyadh Masters 2025.

Miposhka also pointed out that this season has been extremely busy in terms of the number of tournaments, and the next one will be even more intense. According to him, such a schedule leaves players with almost no time to rest, negatively impacting the morale and even performance of some teams.

Let me remind you that earlier Anton "Dyrachyo" Shkredov finally shared his true feelings about Gaimin Gladiators after his departure.
