Zont1x Discusses What Motivates Team Spirit

Miroslav “Zont1x” Plahotia stated that Team Spirit’s Counter-Strike 2 players are more motivated to win when they are on the brink of elimination.

The player made this statement on YouTube.

“We are much more motivated when we are on the brink of elimination.”

According to Miroslav “Zont1x” Plakhotia, Team Spirit players were able to put in a lot of work in the 24 hours following their loss to PARIVISION at BLAST Open Rotterdam 2026. The player acknowledged that the loss was not due to his team’s level of preparation, but rather their mindset going into the match.

“To be honest, a lot has changed since the loss. The loss had less to do with our preparation or skill and more to do with our emotions and energy levels. That affects how much we trust each other and how much we want to play. We have issues with late-night matches, but it all depends on us. We can win if we want to.”

As a reminder, insider Vladislav “Harumi” Radvilovich previously mentioned possible roster changes for Team Spirit in the event of a failure at BLAST Open Rotterdam 2026.
