Last updated:  Yatoro Team Spirit

Ilya “Yatoro” Mulyarchuk, the carry of Team Spirit, defended Remco “Crystallis” Aretz, the new player of Tundra Esports, stating that he is unfairly criticized and that he himself is a great player.

The two-time Dota 2 World Champion spoke about this in a new video on the club's YouTube channel.

Yatoro: I always believed in Crystallis, no kidding. Dimas, do you agree that Crystallis is not a bad guy?

Korb3n: I said a long time ago that he is a good player. When he was criticized, I said: “You're fools, he's a good player”.

Yatoro: He gets blasted by everyone, but he's a guy who trains one shot ten thousand times.

Korb3n: Crystallis is not a bad performer. Nowadays there are many players who are considered bad: skiter, dyrachyo. We have such a young man Larl in our team.

Yatoro: Now they have calmed down, it's not his fault.

Yatoro noted that Crystallis is often hated, and the cybersportsman is constantly practicing and improving his skill. Moreover, he compared Crystallis to Denis “Larl” Sigitov, who was also blamed for the team's failures when he showed incredible results at tournaments.

Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov, Team Spirit manager, also stood up for the Tundra Esports carry, explaining that he is a great player compare him with the best players of the first position n pro scene of Dota 2.
