Panto explained the reasons for Team Spirit's defeat in the DreamLeague Season 27 grand final

Team Spirit`s captain Nikita Panto Balaganin shared his thoughts on the defeat against Team Yandex in the grand final of DreamLeague Season 27. In his opinion, TY was able to adapt better to the new meta.

"Their heroes seemed more imbalanced: Tidehunter, who won every map, stands out; KotL, who had a big impact even with a difficult line; and Tiny, who created problems not only because he can go mid, but also because he can be pos 4.

Our answers to most of these heroes, which we had won with before this series, stopped working."

Recall that the day before the start of the DreamLeague Season 27 playoffs, patch 7.40 was released. Team Spirit defeated all of its opponents in the main stage, but twice failed to cope with Team Yandex — in the upper bracket final and in the grand final. As a result of the online championship, both teams have been invited to ESL One Birmingham 2026 and DreamLeague Season 28.

As CyberScore reported earlier, patch 7.40b was released for Dota 2.
