Team Spirit's new captain announced improvements in the team despite defeat

Nikita “Panto” Balaganin said that despite being eliminated from the FISSURE PLAYGROUND 2 tournament in the top 6, the team has greatly improved its level of preparation by forming a game concept for the updated lineup.

The new Team Spirit captain announced this on Telegram.

“The first LAN tournament has come to an end — we are in 5th-6th place. We are gradually coming to an understanding of how we want to play and what concepts to adhere to. During the tournament, we started to play much better as a team, which is encouraging, but we are still far from ideal.”

According to Nikita “Panto” Balaganin, the last map of the decisive match against Team Falcons lasted over an hour, which is why he believes that Team Spirit had a very good chance of winning. Nevertheless, the esports player noted that the team will try to show a more respectable result in the next tournament.

“We had our ideas. The last map was played for more than 60 minutes, which means that we could have won and moved on, surprising our opponents with a last pick, but, unfortunately, we lost. We will continue to work hard, as the next tournament is coming up soon. A special thank you to everyone who supports me and the team. This is just the beginning!”
