Korb3n awaits Azure Ray's disqualification from ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023

Team Spirit's Dota 2 roster manager Dmitry Korb3n Belov expressed his opinion on the Azure Ray reshuffle. Belov believes that the Chinese team should not be allowed to participate in ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023.

In his Telegram channel he said that he is waiting for the official announcement of ESL about the disqualification of Azure Ray from the tournament in Malaysia, as 3 substitutions are not allowed by the rules. He also added that he believes that the official roster replacement is a circumvention of the rules, as there are penalties for playing with standins, but not for updating the roster.

ESL representatives have not yet made any official statements about the change of the roster for the upcoming tournament. On November 28, Azure Ray announced changes to the lineup. Lu Somnus丶M Yao, Yang Chalice Shenyi and Xu fy Linsen left the club.

Previously, Team Spirit withdrew from the tournament as several players from the squad were on vacation and the organization was unable to participate in the tournament in its entirety.
