Two-time TI champions Team Spirit has managed to live and fight for another day at the BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024 Dota 2 tournament. After being dropped to the Lower Bracket by Gaiming Gladiators, the team managed to sweep LGD Gaming 2-0 to move to the Lower Bracket Quarterfinals.
The Team Spirit versus LGD Gaming was actually the first elimination match of the Playoffs. LGD has a strong start in the first game especially in the laning phase. It wasn't that much of a surprise considering the heroes that they drafted. Despite this advantage, it was clear that there was some hesitation on the part of LGD to be more aggressive. This is where the tournament experience kicked in and once Spirit saw this, they knew they wouldn't let it go. With Magomed "Collapse" Khalilov on Omniknight, Illya "Yatoro" Mulyarchuk was pretty much unstoppable on Slark with 13 kills and only one death. Denis "Larl" Sigitov on Puck meanwhile had 5 kills and zero deaths.
