Ilya “Yatoro” Mulyarchuk, a player for Team Spirit, posted a humorous take on his team`s performance at the PGL Wallachia Season 5 Dota 2 tournament. On his personal Telegram channel, he shared a screenshot of the character Vaas from Far Cry 3, overlaid with the text, “Me talking to myself after every tournament.”
Vaas`s famous monologue from Far Cry 3, often quoted for its definition of insanity as doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results, became a popular meme among gamers shortly after the game launched. This meme resonates with Team Spirit`s history at PGL Wallachia, as the team has consistently been eliminated before the top three, finishing in 4th-6th place in previous seasons (three and four).
At PGL Wallachia Season 5, Yatoro`s team was defeated by BetBoom Team in the lower bracket playoffs with a 1:2 scoreline. This loss resulted in Team Spirit`s elimination, securing them a 4th-place finish and $80,000 in prize money.
