Team Spirit manager Dmitry `Korb3n` Belov recently commented on the criticism directed towards Team Liquid`s offlaner, Jonas `SabeRLighT-` Volek. During a personal stream, Belov also shared his impressions of the PGL Wallachia Season 4 grand final`s intensity.
[Question: `What do you think about today`s final?`] Damn, well, the fifth map was incredible (`имба`). I really haven`t seen anything like that in a long time. I`m usually used to seeing Spirit pull off finales like that, but this map was truly cool even without Spirit. Other than that, I don`t have many thoughts. You see how many… SabeRLighT- has already won two tournaments while various short-sighted influencers keep saying he`s talentless. Yes, yes, the team carried him, sure, sure. And what`s more, he won two PGL Wallachia. That`s right. Wallachia champion.
SabeRLighT- has frequently faced criticism since joining Team Liquid. Some streamers and viewers express the opinion that the player is not performing at the tier-1 level expected of his current team.
Despite these criticisms, with SabeRLighT- as part of the roster, Team Liquid reached the final of ESL One Bangkok 2024 and secured championship titles at both PGL Wallachia Season 3 and PGL Wallachia Season 4. In the grand final of the latter tournament, Team Liquid defeated PARIVISION with a final score of 3:2.
