Chopper named the reason for the conflict between Sh1ro and donk in Team Spirit

Leonid “Chopper” Vishnyakov said that Dmitry ‘Sh1ro’ Sokolov and Danil “donk” Kryshkovets misunderstood each other during the match against Team Vitality at StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, which caused a quarrel between the members of Team Spirit.

The player's opinion is presented on YouTube.

“I think they didn't hear each other. Donk didn't like how we were playing. It's normal when someone says, ‘Let's get it together.’ And Sh1ro was lost in his thoughts. He really likes difficult games, he gets a kick out of CS when you're not just burying yourself.”

According to Leonid “Chopper” Vishnyakov, Dmitry ‘Sh1ro’ Sokolov has a fairly positive attitude towards difficult games, which is why the esports player voiced his opinion during the match when Team Spirit was in a rather difficult position, to which Danil “donk” Kryshkovets reacted quite sharply.

“At that moment, the game was tough, they came back, but we didn't give up and won too. He said what he thought, that he liked it. That's all. He was lost in his thoughts, most likely. That's why it happened.”

Earlier, Leonid “Chopper” Vishnyakov stated that he would not return to the Counter-Strike 2 pro scene in the near future, even if Vitality invited him to join the team.
