Team Spirit Brings Back Yatoro, Collapse, and Silent
Team Spirit brings back two iconic members. After a three month break, Illya "Yatoro" Mulyarchuk, and Magomed "Collapse" Khalilov are back on the active roster. Joining them is the team's two time International Winning coach, Airat "Silent" Gaziev.
The return of the core members of Team Spirit puts Alan "Satanic" Gallyamov on the bench, while Abdimalik "Malik" Sailau returns to searching for a team.

An incredible achievement for the TI winner. (Credit: Yatoro)After placing in the top 12 at The International 13, Yatoro and Collapse took an extended break from the roster. Despite placing first at PGL Wallachia Season 1, Team Spirit failed to do well at the two most important tournaments of the year. The International and Riyadh Masters.
Since taking a break, Satanic and Malik have played five tournaments for the team, with impressive results. While they didn't take home a trophy, they placed second at 1win Series Dota 2 Fall, as well as two-4th place results at ESL One Bangkok 2024 and BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024.
Impressive results, but the two members were mostly warming the spots for the main roster.
In the last week, both Yatoro and Collapse have started grinding seriously in pubs. Collapse has played 43 pubs with a 60% win rate. A lot of the games were on his signature Magnus.
Yatoro has been breaking records in the mean time. He was the first player to hit 16,000 MMR. He has played nearly 10 pubs a day in the last week.
Team Spirit's next tournament appearance will be at the upcoming DreamLeague Season 25 Closed Qualifiers. It will be interesting to see how the team performs after a three month break.
