magixx: "No one will have much stability on Dust2. We need to wait a little bit"

 Team Spirit member Boris "magixx" Vorobyev shared his thoughts with eScoreNews about the addition of Dust2 to the competitive map pool in Counter-Strike 2, also mentioning that the team still has to refine their gameplay on some maps.

"We can't say we have a very solid map pool because we've just come back from a long break. Bugs that we didn't notice during practice might surface on some maps during official matches.

Dust 2 has also been added, which will be an unstable map for a couple of months. Some mechanics, grenades, and gameplay have changed, and skyboxes have opened up, so nobody will have much stability on it. We need to wait a bit, play officials, see our stability on other maps, and then evaluate Dust 2."

Moreover, Vorobyev shared his opinion on whether official matches are inherently more important than practice games – he believes there needs to be a balance.

"I think for progress, officials are significantly more important than a bunch of practice games. But in any case, everything should be in symbiosis. If you have too many officials and no time to prepare something new, then there might be problems with round strategies.

And if you have a ton of practice and no tournaments, then it might happen that everything works out in practice, but in officials, you face something you haven't faced before. It won't be pleasant. Everything should be in balance: spend some time practicing, add something new, make changes, improve, and try it out in officials."

Team Spirit secured the second-place finish at the recent BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024 championship in Serbia. In the final, the "dragons" were defeated by the MOUZ team with a crushing score of 3:0.
