Chopper explained why Team Spirit did not sign Deko

Leonid “Chopper” Vishnyakov said that Team Spirit considered the prospects of buying out Denis “deko” Zhukov, but the cost of the esports player's transfer turned out to be too high.

The player announced this on Twitch.

"Spirit wrote to the organization. They slapped on such a price tag that there was no further discussion. That's why I said that Deko is an unlucky player. As far as I know, some organizations wanted to buy him out, but they were asking for too much... There's no way you can buy him out. He had invites. To different teams. Maybe I'm talking nonsense, but in our case, that's how it was."

Although Leonid “Chopper” Vishnyakov did not disclose the exact cost of buying out Denis “deko” Zhukov, the esports player noted that Aurora had named an exorbitant amount. The former Team Spirit player also believes that Aurora's position is damaging Denis “deko” Zhukov's career, as esports organizations are paying attention to the player but cannot buy him out for their teams due to the high transfer fee.

Earlier, Leonid “Chopper” Vishnyakov named the main favorite of the ESL Pro League Season 23 CS2 tournament.
