Team Spirit went on to share a short video of them touring their training facilities for TI 10 and they don’t look all that appealing. They show the room, which is a very small space and is supposed to house eight people. As they also have to play the group stage from the room, things don’t look all that comfortable. To make matters worse, the toilet didn’t feature any toilet paper and the kitchen is tiny and barely usable.

According to Team Spirit, they suggest that other teams have better practice rooms and that the rooms have been divided among the teams based on their DPC points. Lower ranked teams all get rooms like theirs. This theory gained some traction through the manager of OG, who says that they have no extra desk and no extra chair and complain of being in a cramped space with no place to move around. Virtus.Pro on the other hand received a room with more space.
Decent? Ahah. Saksa can’t even move his chair or goes against Topson. We got one of the shitty rooms. No extra desk, no extra chair, nothing. I can’t even work from this room. 🤷♂️
Still waiting for this to be somehow fixed because players can barely move here.— Shootsgud (@shootsgud) October 4, 2021
Many fans aren’t exactly happy with the treatment of the teams and have been complaining to Valve about the situation. Others have suggested that due to The International being moved around at short notice, the necessary facilities to house all the teams just weren’t available, leaving some teams with mediocre to small rooms.
