Dmitry "Korb3n" Belov, main manager of Team Spirit, spoke out on social networks after 9Pandas' defeat in the FISSURE Playground closed qualifiers, praising Anton "Perdan4ik" Suslov and the 4Pirates team.

This information was shared by Korb3n via his personal Telegram channel.

“Perdan4ik prime,” Korb3n wrote, as the 4Pirates team came back and won 2-0 against 9Pandas. This win was especially impressive as the team of Alexey "Solo" Berezin, former captain of 9Pandas, dominated the matches. In one game, even though they were 26,000 gold behind, they still came back spectacularly to win.

This result surprised many people when 9Pandas had to fall to the losing bracket.

Previously, Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov once suggested that the professional Dota 2 arena could come to an end in 2026.
