Team Spirit`s Dota 2 captain, Yaroslav “Miposhka” Naidenov, shared his reflections on their recent match against Team Liquid in the BLAST Slam III playoffs. Naidenov`s post-match breakdown was published on the club`s Telegram channel.
Hey everyone. We just played Liquid and won 2-1. It`s a bit of a `hooray` moment because we lifted a small curse from the previous Blast Slam. Regarding the maps: on the first, things didn`t go our way initially, they put a lot of pressure on us, but despite that, we found opportunities and capitalized on their mistakes. For the second map, we decided to try a bit of Beastmaster. It didn`t work out perfectly, maybe, and our hero picks weren`t quite right either. Overall, we didn`t play that well on that map. For the third, we decided to change our approach slightly: we didn`t pick something we were absolutely confident in, but the idea felt right to me. We chose to play with Medusa, and the draft turned out quite well, and we played great.
Team Spirit and Team Liquid faced off in the first round of the BLAST Slam III playoffs. The series concluded 2-1 in favor of the Team Spirit squad. On May 8th, Miposhka`s team is scheduled to play against PARIVISION. You can follow the tournament`s schedule and results in the full report.
