SPELLAN announces free agency

After spending six months on the bench of Windigo, Teodor "⁠SPELLAN⁠" Nikolov is looking for new challenges as his contract with the organization has run out.

SPELLAN lost his place in the lineup of the Bulgarian squad in June of 2018, with "inconsistent performance and a change of atmosphere during practice" cited as the reasons for the roster change. The then-IGL was replaced by Yanko "⁠blocker⁠" Panov, with the young AWPer Valentin "⁠poizon⁠" Vasilev being Windigo's latest addition.

The 21-year-old says he improved "as a person and a player" since being benched

After being placed on the bench, SPELLAN only played a handful of HLTV matches, representing mix-teams. Now, SPELLAN's contract with the Ukrainian organization Windigo has run out and he is "really motivated to continue playing professionally".

The Bulgarian, who took on the AWP in the past as well, could be joining Epsilon, as he is on the team's ESEA roster since January 6th. However, he didn't play in the team's first ESEA MDL match of the season, which took place on January 18th, leaving his future uncertain at this point.

who? for real though, I heavily assume SPELLAN is reading this thread as do most low-key players about themselves so if you're reading this, work your ass off to become relevant or leave the scene. It takes something truly special to become an important player nowadays so show what is truly special about you or you will be forgotten. Don't exactly know why I wrote this, maybe because I'm drunk after working for 15 hours with one hour break today, just felt like inspiring someone.

Most of the hltv users only look at the stats but thats because they didnt fully understand counter strike. Cs is much more than just frags and movieshots

Toxic & Not good enough for any EU team I can think of. Great change in personality by the way, making a CS movie of yourself and referring to yourself as "The Prodigy" lol, sounds like you've got a lot to learn

Maybe he meant de_prodigy, but I didn't see the map, so I'm not quite sure. These idiots should be honest with their statements, like this: Hey guys, I don't want to sit on the bench anymore and my contract expired, can someone else pick me up so I can collect more paychecks, I'm still the same hot garbage, so please, pick me up.

"Its been a long time on the bench and it helped me improve myself as a person and player!" Yeah... I wonder what else someone would say that wanted to join a team, that he played Fortnite the entire time being benched and that he gives no fucks about you idiots?

SPELLAN is probably the MOST underrated player out there. Very good IGL with LOTS of firepower. Windigo was so stupid for letting go of him.
