Team Yandex explained why they no longer show their past success

Opponents may have found the key to Team Yandex’s strategy, which is why the roster is no longer showing the same results on the Dota 2 pro scene.

This was stated by Mikhail “FILIP_FILIPSOV” Turchin in a comment to the CyberMeta portal.

“Victory was last year, CIS teams often lose form after the New Year holidays. A lot of time has passed since the win, many things changed. We played two tournaments one after another before DreamLeague. Maybe the opponents found the key to our strategy and learned how to play against us. I also don’t exclude that somewhere we are not finishing games properly. In any case, evaluating the team results is not really my competence”

According to him, after the success at the previous two tournaments, rivals may have understood how to beat Team Yandex, which could explain the drop in results. The manager also did not rule out that the players might simply not be in their best form and sometimes don’t finish games the way they should.

However, he admitted that the forced replacement of the offlaner weakened the team, even though the roster had some time to practice with the stand-in before PGL Wallachia Season 7.
