Team Spirit`s captain Nikita Panto Balaganin topped the list of players who played the highest number of matches on the pro scene in 2025. He has 353 maps played to his name.

Balaganin finished two maps ahead of Tundra Esports midlaner Bozhidar bzm Bogdanov. Rounding out the top three by this metric is Neta 33 Shapira with 340 matches.

Recall that Panto started 2025 as part of Chimera Esports. After a fairly successful performance at DreamLeague Season 25, Nikita joined Aurora Gaming, with whom he competed in nine Tier 1 tournaments.

In October, Panto moved to Team Spirit, where he replaced Yaroslav Miposhka Naidenov. The team took 5th-6th place at FISSURE PLAYGROUND 2 and BLAST Slam IV, and also became a finalist at PGL Wallachia Season 6 and DreamLeague Season 27.
