Official: Team Spirit benches magixx

Esports organization Team Spirit has officially announced changes to its Counter-Strike 2 roster ahead of the start of the new competitive season. The club benched Boris "magixx" Vorobiev. The official statement was published on social media.

We are truly grateful to Boris for all those six years he has spent in Team Spirit. He`s been with us during several crucial stages of the roster formation and hugely affected the very shaping of our unique philosophy. Back in 2019 Boris joined us as a gifted but inexperienced player. Throughout these years he has been constantly growing and developing both as a person and as a professional cyberathlete. This eventually led Team Spirit to our most significant victories at various CS tournaments.

We`ll never forget the enormous contribution magixx has made to Team Spirit milestone achievements, playing an impressive number of 1050 maps in total. We wish Boris success in his further esports career. We will keep track of his brilliant achievements and celebrate his victories.

The 22-year-old Russian esports athlete has been competing for Team Spirit for almost six years, since September 2019. Vorobiev's average rating over the past three months is 1.00 (in 31 maps). According to rumors, the vacant position in the starting five will go to Ivan "⁠zweih⁠" Gogin, who has been representing Nemiga since June last year.

Note that Team Spirit placed 5th-8th at the recent BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 in the United States. The team currently occupies third place in Valve's world ranking.

 Team Spirit are now:

 Leonid "⁠chopper⁠" Vishnyakov
 Danil "⁠donk⁠" Kryshkovets
 Myroslav "⁠zont1x⁠" Plakhotia
 Dmitry "sh1ro" Sokolov

 Sergey "⁠hally⁠" Shavaev (coach)
