Nightfall’s Comeback: Insights from Team Spirit’s Dmitry Korb3n Belov
Ah, Dota 2! The game where you can lose friends faster than you can say “Ramping!” Just when we thought the drama was back on the grid alongside the epic clashes in the arena, Dmitry Korb3n Belov, the manager of Team Spirit, swung by with some rather intriguing commentary about the ever-mysterious Egor “Nightfall” Grigorenko during BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024. Grab your popcorn, folks; it’s about to get juicy!
“Has Nightfall returned to form? I don’t know, but I think the transition benefited him. I’ll say so. Saw it on LAN. Not a fan of all these pseudo-theories, but he looks happy. Doesn’t look busy. We wave to each other there from 100 meters away. Nightfall smiles. I’m having a blast. I generally like it when people change something and they succeed. We can say that he almost succeeded. I hope there will be more to come.”

So, what’s the score? Is Nightfall really back in the limelight, or is this just Belov’s way of saying, “Well, it could be worse!”? The smile and relaxation certainly hint at a player who is living the dream, but then again – what do we know? Land a crit, and all cards are on the table, right?
The backdrop to this performance? Nightfall’s rather high-profile transition to Tundra Esports in early October 2024. Yes, you heard that right! This talented lad made quite the splash, but had a little hiccup with a visa issue that made him miss the PGL Wallachia Season 2. Honestly, you’d think after all this time, they’d sort the visa situation out, but no, we still can’t have nice things in the esports world!
The Road to BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024
The tension peaked at the BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024 tournament, which spanned a week from October 19 to 26. Twelve ambitious teams threw down like gladiators in an arena, all vying for the staggering $1,000,000 prize pool. Tundra Esports, despite their valiant efforts, fell short against Team Falcons in the finals – a nail-biting showdown that ended with the score of 3:2. Ouch! Nothing stings like a close match where you just can’t seem to catch a break, am I right?
However, let’s give credit where it’s due: Tundra walked away with a cool $200,000 for their runner-up finish. So not all is bleak in their camp! Just remember, folks, second place is just the first loser – in a world where everyone wants to be a winner, it’s quite the cheeky position!
Tundra Esports Roster
So, who are the knights on the round table of Tundra Esports? Here’s the current roster:
- Egor “Saika” Hryhorenko;
- Artyom “Lorenof” Melnik;
- Neta “33” Shapira;
- Martin “Saksa” Sazdov;
- Matthew “Whitemon” Filmon.
These players are fierce competitors, and under Nightfall’s leadership, they could very well take on the world. Or at least go home with more than just a ‘participation trophy’.
Team Spirit Dota 2 manager Dmitry Korb3n Belov recently shared his insights regarding the competitive form of Egor Saika (Nightfall) Grigorenko during a Twitch broadcast focused on the BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024 event.
When asked if Nightfall has fully returned to form, Korb3n stated, “I don’t know, but I think the transition benefited him. I’ll say so. I observed his performance on LAN. He certainly appears content and engaged, which is promising. We exchanged smiles even from a distance of 100 meters. It’s heartening to see Nightfall smiling; I’m genuinely enjoying the vibes. Personally, I admire when individuals make changes and succeed—it’s a transformation that carries potential. We can assert that he has come quite close to that success, and I am optimistic that there is more to follow.”
Let us remind you that Nightfall moved to Tundra Esports in early October 2024, and these rumors were subsequently confirmed. However, the talented player was unable to participate in PGL Wallachia Season 2 due to visa complications. Notably, prior to his transfer, Nightfall was an integral part of the BetBoom Team.
On the night of October 27, Team Falcons triumphed over Tundra Esports in a thrilling finals matchup at the BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024, concluding with a close score of 3:2 on maps. Despite their valiant efforts, Tundra Esports could not overcome their opponents, securing a hard-fought second-place finish and earning $200,000 from the overall prize pool.
Current Tundra Esports roster:
