Team Spirit's manager Dimitriy Belov, also known as Korb3n, recently provided insight into the team's decision to bench Alan 'Satanic' Gallyamov and reinstate Illya 'Yatoro' Mulyarchuk into the lineup. Belov revealed that Yatoro's return happened sooner than anticipated, catching the organization off guard and necessitating a swift roster adjustment between the two players. This strategic move was shared by Korb3n through a statement on Telegram.
Yatoro officially replaced Satanic on January 5, stepping into the team dynamic with admirable success despite the transitional stage the team was undergoing. At just 17 years old, Yatoro has already showcased remarkable performance in his brief tenure, having achieved top 4 placements in four out of five events. During the past few weeks, Satanic had been experimenting with the mid position in public matches, hinting at a potential dual-core setup.
Although the anticipated return of Collapse and Silent was on the horizon, Yatoro's future was uncertain as his position within the team was contingent on performance rather than a guaranteed slot. Korb3n emphasized that Yatoro's inclusion was conditional upon the team's results and he was initially meant to remain inactive for at least six months.
