tN1R joins Team Spirit, replacing zont1x

Esports organization Team Spirit has announced the end of its collaboration with professional Counter-Strike 2 player Miroslav “zont1x” Plakhotey. The club states that the player departed the principal squad of his own accord and will remain within the organization as a substitute.

Zont1x joined Team Spirit in July 2023 and was with the team for over two years. The roster had a huge success rate in this period, taking home Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024, IEM Katowice 2024, IEM Cologne 2025, and the 2025 BLAST Bounty series events.

The club representatives noted that the player himself came to the bench in order to "solve personal problems." At the time of publication, it is not yet clear where Plakhotey will continue his career, but his contribution to the team's success was highly appreciated by management and fans.

Replacing zont1x in the main roster is Belarusian prospect Andrei "tN1R" Tatarinovich, previously of Heroic. Over the past three months, his HLTV.org rating was 1.14, and he was one of the region's most exciting prospects. At ESL Pro League Season 22, starting on October 3, he will debut for Team Spirit.

• Leonid chopper Vishnyakov

• Danil donk Kryshkovets

• Dmitry sh1ro Sokolov

• Ivan zweih Gogin

• Andrei tN1R Tatarinovich

• Sergey hally Shavaev (coach)

Fans are eagerly awaiting the debut of the updated lineup and its first results with the new player.
