Zont1x to Continue Playing for Team Spirit at BLAST Open Fall 2025

Ukrainian esports player Myroslav “zont1x” Plakhotia may remain part of Team Spirit’s roster at least until the end of the BLAST Open Fall 2025 CS2 tournament. The report was authored by HLTV's editor-in-chief, Milan "Striker" Švejda.

The team decided to sign the player for the following tournament to give roster stability, according to the media journalist. The team will receive one month's off after the event, which will enable them to prepare for future games and adjust their roster accordingly.

Earlier reports suggested that Andrey “tN1R” Tatarinovich was set to join Team Spirit, replacing zont1x. However, due to the club’s current decision, the Ukrainian rifler will continue to compete officially. This means fans will have to wait at least another year to see tN1R’s stickers with a new team. For the upcoming Major, it will be zont1x who receives stickers, since he will be registered with Spirit for the London event.

The online stage of BLAST Open Fall 2025 will take place from August 27 to September 1, featuring 16 teams competing for six spots at the LAN stage. The final phase of the tournament will be held in London in early autumn. Team Spirit’s first opponent will be FlyQuest.

Thus, despite rumors of upcoming changes, zont1x will continue representing Team Spirit at the upcoming tournament and keep his place in the active roster at least through the fall.
