Yatoro revealed what Panto actually does in Team Spirit

Ilya “Yatoro” Mulyarchuk revealed that Team Spirit new captain, Nikita “panto” Balaganin, truly controls the team’s overall strategy — but only makes calls in the early game, mainly directing where players should push.

The two-time world champion shared this in a comment to the DotaNews Telegram channel.

“Panto mainly controls the early game for us, calling out early movements and where we should apply pressure. He tries to lead the game in his own structured way”

According to Yatoro, Panto is a great person who’s always open to new ideas. This may have been a subtle hint that Yaroslav “Miposhka” Naidenov was more conservative when it came to drafts and strategies.

Yatoro also emphasized that the new captain is especially active during the early stages of matches, when he clearly coordinates the team’s actions to pressure in the right areas and gain an advantage.

It’s worth noting that earlier, Alexander “Nix” Levin shared his surprising take on Team Spirit new roster following Miposhka’s departure.
