With back-to-back roster changes, Team Spirit is the next team to announce new members as they look ahead to the upcoming Dota 2 season.

After a performance that did not meet expectations at The International 2024, where they were eliminated in 9-12th place, Team Spirit made their first changes to the squad just a few days ago. Illya "yatoro" Mularchuk and Miroslaw "Mira" Kolpakov both went into inactive mode, both deciding to take a short break from their professional careers. Just over a week later, Spirit is ready to announce its new lineup through its social media accounts.

It's been over ten days since Yellow Submarine decided to disband their Dota 2 team, and this seems to fit very well with Spirit's plans, as two of their new players join from the team's remnants. This.

Having only just started her professional Dota 2 career in mid-2023, rue will face many challenges as she takes on the role of position 4 support for Spirit. With very little experience facing big opponents, rue will have to jump into the fight immediately, as Spirit wants to overcome the uncertainties in 2024 and start the new season strongly. This is also when their new carry player appears – 16-year-old star Satanic. As the youngest person to reach the 13,000 MMR mark, even if only for a short time, Satanic will continue the position left by Raddan.


Besides, earlier today, Magomed "Collapse" Khalilov also decided to take some personal time, expected to return in January 2025. However, until he returns, Abdimalik "Malik`" Sailau will take on the role of offlane position 3.


Team Spirit's full lineup includes:


Alan "Satanic" Gallyamov

Denis "Larl" Sigitov

Abdimalik "Malik`" Sailau

Alexandr "rue" Filin

Yaroslav "Miposhka" Naidenov


With PGL Wallachia Season 2 and BetBoom Dacha Belgrade taking place in October 2024, we will soon see this new squad in action. Whether the new additions of young talent can fit in right away remains to be seen, but it will be interesting to see how Satanic fares playing alongside veteran players.
