Zont1x Calls Team Spirit the Best CS2 Team Right Now

Team Spirit player Myroslav “zont1x” Plakhotia has reflected on the team’s current status following their victory at BLAST Open Fall 2026. After securing another trophy, he believes Spirit can currently be considered the best CS2 team in the world.

Speaking in an on-stage interview after the tournament, zont1x acknowledged that Team Spirit are likely the strongest team at the moment. However, he stressed that such a status is relative and can change quickly in competitive Counter-Strike.

According to zont1x, Spirit’s upcoming break makes it difficult to place too much importance on being considered the world’s best team right now. The roster is not scheduled to play another official match for approximately a month, meaning the competitive landscape could look different by the time Spirit return to the server.

For that reason, zont1x appeared reluctant to attach too much significance to the title of the best team in the world. While he recognizes Spirit’s current position, he believes it may have less relevance when the team begins competing again.

Team Spirit claimed the BLAST Open Fall 2026 championship after defeating MOUZ 3-1 in the grand final. The victory marked Spirit’s second consecutive tournament title.

Before their BLAST Open Fall triumph, Spirit also won the CS2 tournament at the Esports World Cup 2026, giving the roster back-to-back championships.

The team will now have an extended break from official competition. Spirit’s next scheduled event is ESL Pro League Season 24, which begins on October 3.

With two consecutive trophies secured, Team Spirit enter the break as one of the strongest teams in professional CS2, although zont1x believes they will need to prove that status again when they return to competition.
