Team Spirit face FISSURE Universe without Larl
Team Spirit will play without their mid lane star Denis โLarlโ Sigitov at the next FISSURE Universe: Episode 6 Dota 2 event. The team said he is healing from surgery. Larl had the operation during the Esports World Cup.
While there were some complications, Team Spirit informed fans that 'everything is fine'. With this setback, Larl will miss the $250,000 (ยฃ185,000) tournament. The TI 2025 qualified team will now need a stand-in.
The team said that Marat โMireleโ Gazetdinov from Yellow Submarine (YeS) will take over the mid lane role. While the young player mostly competes in Tier-3 events, Mirele recently stood out at the CIS Battle. There, YeS finished the Group Stage with a 6-1 record despite struggles in the Playoffs.
Spirit knows him well since YeS have been practice partners for a long time. Team Spirit manager Dmitry โKorb3nโ Belov is also YeSโ CEO. This event will be tough without Larl, but the teamโs main focus is on his recovery before The International 2025 in September.
