Zont1x speaks out about Chopper's departure from Team Spirit

Miroslav “zont1x” Plakhotya stated that Leonid “Chopper” Vishnyakov began to show signs of burnout due to prolonged play, which was one of the reasons for his departure from Team Spirit's Counter-Strike 2 roster.

The player shared this in an interview with HLTV.

"Yes, I think Chopper is a little tired — obviously, he's been playing for a very long time. He has certain personal issues that interfere with how he trains and how he plays. Therefore, I believe that these changes were necessary to get a new iteration of the team. And from an organizational standpoint, the changes are necessary to achieve better results so that donk doesn't leave. So in a sense, it was necessary."

According to Miroslav “zont1x” Plakhot, Leonid “Chopper” Vishnyakov had personal problems that interfered with his training and performance in professional matches. The player also noted that Team Spirit needed changes for further development, as well as to keep Danil “Donk” Kryshkovets on the team.

Earlier, Leonid “Chopper” Vishnyakov spoke about Danil “donk” Kryshkovets' role in Team Spirit.
