“We lost our captain and drafter”, — Korb3n commented on the changes in Team Spirit

Team Spirit manager Dmitry Korb3n Belov said he thinks the recent forced reshuffle has weakened the team. He shared his thoughts on his personal Telegram channel.

"We lost our captain and drafter. On paper, our reshuffle is also a weakening because everything is a little different now, with different ideas and different heroes.

It takes time to adjust, to establish a hierarchy within the system, etc. On the plus side, Nikita suits us in terms of temperament, plus he is fresh and full of energy, which is something Spirit sometimes lacked last season."

In addition, Korb3n assessed the likelihood of Yaroslav Miposhka Naidenov returning to the team.

“Well, that probably depends on Panto. But Yarik needs to rest in any case. And it also depends on Yarik. I think Yarik will be resting for a long time. He needs to really take it easy, do the things he's wanted to do for a long time.”

Belov noted that if Nikita Panto Balaganin proves himself better than Miposhka in Spirit, then Naidenov, if he wants to resume his career, will return to another club.

As a reminder, Panto officially replaced Miposhka in Team Spirit on October 9. The updated roster made its debut at BLAST SLAM IV, where it secured a spot in the playoffs, which will take place from 07.11.2025 to 09.11.2025.

Spirit is currently participating in FISSURE PLAYGROUND 2. The LAN championship will take place from 23.10.2025 to 02.11.2025 in Belgrade, Serbia. Sixteen teams will compete for a prize pool of $1,000,000.

As previously reported by CyberScore, Team Yandex has officially signed two new players.
