Malr1ne pointed out something strange about Panto being kicked from Team Spirit

Stanislav “Malr1ne” Potorak considers the replacement of Nikita Balaganin in Team Spirit to be strange, pointing out that the reason may not be related to the former Dota 2 captain’s gameplay level.

The Team Falcons mid player talked about this during a Twitch stream.

“Do I feel bad for Pantomem? Well, listen, not really bad I guess it means that’s how it had to be. But honestly, it’s a very strange replacement. Because Panto seemed to play well, but apparently something happened there...”

Malr1ne noted that the club probably knows what it is doing and likely had reasons for making the change. Nevertheless, he pointed out that Panto was playing well and the reason for the replacement could be something more personal or connected to the direction of the roster’s development which may not have matched the organization management’s vision.

It is possible that Malr1ne was also hinting at some kind of conflict inside the roster but he did not reveal any details during the stream.
