Silent, the coach of Team Spirit's two-time TI champions, has announced his resignation and leave of absence.

Silent, the legendary coach who led Team Spirit to two International (TI) victories, has officially announced his departure from the head coach position and will be on leave.

Since Team Spirit acquired Yellow Submarine in late 2020, Silent has coached the roster for six years. In this legendary coaching career, he has transformed a group of young players lacking experience in top-tier tournaments into a world-class championship team.

Under Silent's guidance, Team Spirit not only pulled off a stunning upset against LGD at TI10, but also achieved legendary status at TI12, becoming one of the few teams in history to win two world championships. Furthermore, he led the team to victory in the 2025 Esports World Cup, solidifying his position as one of the greatest coaches in Dota 2 history.

For Team Spirit, Silent's departure is not only the loss of a tactical strategist, but also the loss of a spiritual leader who could unite the entire team. Silent has been moved to the club's inactive list, and his successor has yet to be determined.

With mid-laner Larl also sidelined for six weeks due to personal reasons, Team Spirit is facing its most severe roster gap in recent years. It is widely speculated that the club may recall legendary captain Miposhka, who was previously on vacation, to fill the tactical void left by Silent's departure, utilizing his deep understanding of the game.
