sh1ro officially joins Team Spirit

Team Spirit have officially announced the signing of Dmitry "sh1ro" Sokolov via their social media accounts. Cloud9's former AWPer replaced Artem "ArtFr0st" Kharitonov.

sh1ro spent a year and a half with Cloud9 before departing the starting five on his own initiative at the end of October. Together with the team, the sniper secured the IEM Dallas 2022 title, as well as reached the playoffs of IEM Rio Major 2022.
