It appears that the champions of The International 10 – Team Spirit – have decided to stick together and continue playing with the same roster in the next season. It has been announced by the team’s captain Yaroslav "Miposhka" Naidenov. He also has revealed that currently all members of the team are resting and it remains unknown when they will return to their training process.
