Team Spirit Reportedly Considering Satanic as Yatoro’s Succesor

Rumors about a Dota 2 Team Spirit lineup shakeup has resufarced once again, as the team is reportedly considering replacing their star carry, Ilya “Yatoro” Mulyarchuk, with Alan “Satanic” Gallyamov.

Talk of this change actually surfaced before the ongoing Dota 2 EWC 2025 tournament. However, the move seems likely to happen sooner if the team’s results in major competitions don’t improve soon.

Spirit has consistently struggled in crucial playoff matches, which is puzzling given their dominant performances during the group or elimination stages.

Several players have been scrutinized for this decline, including Yatoro, who hasn’t quite returned to his peak form from previous seasons. On the other hand, the 17-year-old Satanic has shone during his loan spell with Parivision, frequently proving himself as a clutch player.

This has reportedly motivated Spirit’s management to recall Satanic and integrate him into the main squad. Several pro players streaming EWC 2025 watch parties have commented that Spirit will likely make roster changes to stop this downward spiral before it worsens, with Satanic potentially playing a major role in that plan.
