Teams Team Spirit and Tundra Esports lost some of their ranking points in the ESL Pro Tour Season 3 system. The losses were a result of roster changes involving player rotations, leading to penalties amounting to 30% of their accumulated points.

Team Spirit Losses

The return of two star players, Illya "YATORO" Mulyarchuk and Magomed "Collapse" Khalilov, to the Team Spirit roster was seen as a significant step to strengthen the team. They replaced Bogdan "Satanic" Danilin and Aleksey "Malik" Suleymanov, respectively. However, such changes under ESL rules led to a loss of 30% of their ranking points, which may affect their standing in the tournament table.

Roster Changes in Tundra Esports

Tundra Esports also incurred losses due to a roster change. On December 31st, Dmitry "Nightfall" Kuzmin was benched, and his position was taken by Anton "dyrachyo" Shkredov. This substitution cost the team a 30% loss in ranking points.

It is worth noting that the previous substitution — adding Bogdan "bzm" Tsyrdia in place of Yevgeny "lorenof" Makarenko, who was transferred to Chimera Esports — did not affect the team's ranking points as it was made under a loan arrangement.

Impact on ESL Pro Tour Season 3

Penalties for roster changes have noticeably affected the standings of both teams in the rankings. The loss of points may complicate their struggle for high positions in the ESL Pro Tour Season 3 table. However, representatives of both organizations are confident that the updated rosters will bring more stability and help achieve better results in the future.

The teams are preparing for further challenges, aiming to make up for the lost ground and prove that the changes made were the right decision.
