Team Spirit manager Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov stated that Ilya “Yatoro” Mulyarchuk's return to the Dota 2 roster was not planned, and because of that the team had to make a difficult choice.

Korb3n shared the relevant opinion in Telegram.

“As you already know from the announcement, in addition to Airat and Magomed, Ilya also returned to us, which was not planned, but “it happened”. Such a quick return of Ilya was a surprise, and we had to make a hard choice.”

Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov said that the organization made a choice in favor of a more experienced player, however, the team is sorry to part with Alan “Satanic” Galliamov, who did not have time to fully develop his potential in the team.

“The choice to go with a more experienced and established player over a legend of this organization is a choice that was made. It's a shame to part ways with Alan, he is a unique player with a boyish spirit who was prevented from reaching his full potential by Murphy's Law and various circumstances.”

The Team Spirit manager also promised that he will continue to support Alan “Satanic” Galliamov, who is looking forward to a successful career on the pro scene. He called Ilya “Yatoro” Mulyarchuk an old friend, adding that he missed him while the player was inactive.
