Yatoro admitted what made him leave the Dota 2 pro scene

Ilya “Yatoro” Mulyarchuk, the carry of Team Spirit , states that seeing the team’s performance spirals during the previous season and as well as during The International 2024, compelled him to take a break from the Dota 2 pro scene.

The multi world champion discussed this during his interview at FISSURE Playground.

“I was taking a break from the competitive side of Dota. We had too many failures and setbacks in tournaments. Even before TI, I was considering taking a break, but our losses at TI completely broke me. That’s when I realized I needed to step away, be it for a short or long time. Initially, I thought about leaving for a year, but then I changed my mind”

Team Spiritdid have a rough previous season which was acknowledged by Yatoro, and prior to the world championship he had been contemplating going on a break. The player has confirmed that after the elimination of TI 13, he made the decision of going inactive, but he emphasized that even skipping a whole year from the pro scene did not seem like such a bad idea.

He admitted he felt that he needed time away from competitive Dota 2 after the defeat he suffered at The International 2024.

Previously, Captain of Team Spirit had revealed the reason for their defeat against Anton “Dyrachyo” Shkredov’s team.
