Official: Team Spirit signs tN1R

Esports organization Team Spirit has announced changes to its Counter-Strike 2 roster once again. The club has benched Myroslav "zont1x" Plakhotia. The official statement was published on social media.

Rifler of the Team Spirit main CS2 roster Miroslav “Zont1x” Plakhotia has been benched due to his own personal request.

Several months ago Miroslav informed the Team Spirit management that he needed some time off in order to solve certain personal issues. It took us a while to provide him with such an opportunity, avoiding negative consequences for the roster’s stability at the same time. We undoubtedly respect Miroslav’s choice.

The 22-year-old Ukrainian esports athlete has been competing for Team Spirit's main roster for over two years, since July 2023. Before that, he spent over two years at the Team Spirit Academy. Plakhotia's average rating over the past three months is 1.04 (in 45 maps).

The vacant position in the squad was filled by Andrey "tN1R" Tatarinovich, who was bought out of HEROIC last month. Tatarinovich has represented HEROIC since January of this year, while before that he played for GUN5.

Note that in July 2025, Team Spirit also announced the signing of Ivan "zweih" Gogin to their Counter-Strike 2 roster, replacing Boris "magixx" Vorobiev.

 Team Spirit are now:

 Leonid "⁠chopper⁠" Vishnyakov
 Danil "⁠donk⁠" Kryshkovets
 Dmitry "sh1ro" Sokolov
 Ivan "zweih" Gogin
 Andrey "tN1R" Tatarinovich

 Sergey "⁠hally⁠" Shavaev (coach)
