The Team Spirit manager commented on Malik's future for the first time

It was reported that Abdimalik “Malik” Sailau has not held any talks regarding his eligibility with Team Spirit, that is after all Magomed “Collapse” Khalilov is set to return, implying that he is sure to land another team with ease, as stated by Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov the manager of Team Spirit.

For clarification, he spoke about this on Twitch:

“Malik didn’t approach us about staying in Team Spirit. That would be odd - you need to respect yourself. How could you ask to stay? Should you play your games and then come asking, ‘Please, let me stay’? Malik respects himself, so it’s unlikely he’d do that. Self-respect is crucial. Malik won’t have any problems finding a new team - that’s for sure”

Korb3n also stated that Malik does respect himself which is why he is not making a case for staying on the squad knowing that he would then be on a stand-in basis for the team as Collapse has a return date set for January, he even managed to accentuate that Malik won’t have difficulty finding a new team. As for the TS manager, he adamantly believes Malik is an excellent player who with no doubt finds a new team and pursues his career.

Malik himself has mentioned, or I would rather say has made it clear that he in fact is not expecting it to that extent as it only overlooks Collapse.
