In a highly anticipated move for the Dota 2 community, Illya “Yatoro” Mulyarchuk, one of the standout players of Team Spirit, has announced his return to the active roster for the 2025 season.
Alongside him, Magomed “Collapse” Khalilov rejoins the team, marking the return of the iconic duo that had previously led the team to numerous triumphs, including a historic victory at The International.
After a three-month break, Team Spirit is now reuniting two of its key members for the upcoming season, much to the excitement of fans. Joining them is the renowned coach Airat “Silent” Gaziev, who has helped guide Team Spirit to back-to-back International victories.
Changes in Team Spirit’s Roster
With the return of Yatoro and Collapse, some adjustments have been made to the roster. Alan “Satanic” Gallyamov has been moved to the bench, while Abdimalik “Malik” Sailau is currently looking for a new team.
Despite their absence from the active roster, Satanic and Malik showed commendable performances in their time with the team. They helped secure a second-place finish at the 1win Series Dota 2 Fall and earned two fourth-place results at ESL One Bangkok 2024 and BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024.
Yatoro and Collapse’s Preparation
Following their time off after The International 13, where Team Spirit placed in the top 12 but failed to capture the top spot at both The International and Riyadh Masters, Yatoro and Collapse have been working tirelessly to prepare for their return to competitive play.
Collapse, known for his exceptional Magnus play, has been actively grinding in pubs, playing 43 games with an impressive 60% win rate.
Meanwhile, Yatoro has been on a tear, breaking records and continuing to demonstrate his unmatched skill. He was the first player in Dota 2 history to reach 16,000 MMR and has played nearly 10 pubs a day over the last week in preparation for the team’s return to top-tier competition.
Looking Ahead: DreamLeague Season 25
Team Spirit’s first major test with their refreshed roster will be at the upcoming DreamLeague Season 25 Closed Qualifiers. Fans are eagerly awaiting to see how the team, with its reformed core, will perform after their break.
