NS directly explained why Team Spirit replaced Mira

Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov claims Team Spirit decision to replace Miroslav “ Mira ” Kolpakov with Alexander “Rue” Filin did not budge the team’s performance metrics, as Mira did not have much importance on the overall roster. He added that Milo did not have a lot of star power with him, so Spirit’s decision to replace him with a random player was quite irrelevant.

He made this claim while streaming on twitch .

“ Mira is not such an irreplaceable and star player. Spirit replaced him with some random player from a tier-2 team, but what changed? Nothing changed“

NS also pointed out that Mira may be a two-time Dota 2 world champion, but he is not a prominent name in the pro scene. He argued that Team Spirit is known to replace proficient players with others that are below par, as they have done with Mira , and it still does not change the outcome for the team.

It’s likely that’s where the decision to not bring Mira back to Team Spirit , and transfer him to Aurora stemmed from. Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov also touched on this when giving insights about roster moves.
