Sources: tN1R to join Spirit after EWC

The Belarusian is expected to take zont1x's place on the roster despite the team's winning start to the season at IEM Cologne.

tN1R will soon team up with donk on Spirit

Spirit are set to bring in Andrey "⁠tN1R⁠" Tatarinovich following the conclusion of the Esports World Cup later this month, multiple sources have told HLTV.

The report follows an announcement from HEROIC in which the organization revealed that tN1R had been sold to an undisclosed team.

HEROIC's Director of Esports, Robin Nymann, told HLTV that the organization had "repeatedly declined bids for [tN1R]" but ultimately had to give in because he had a "buyout clause towards the team he is going to," suggesting Spirit had their eyes set on the Belarusian for some time.

HEROIC announce tN1R sale

tN1R will join the Russian side after playing out the Saudi Arabian competition with HEROIC, with their first match in Riyadh pitting the 24-year-old against none other than his future team.

Some sources have indicated that tN1R will replace Myroslav "⁠zont1x⁠" Plakhotia on the Spirit roster, which would bring an end to the Ukrainian's two-year spell with the main team.

It would mark the second anchor change in the squad in just over a month after Ivan "⁠zweih⁠" Gogin's addition in place of Boris "⁠magixx⁠" Vorobiev in the summer off-season, which was followed by a successful start to the new season with Spirit hoisting the IEM Cologne trophy following a convincing grand final victory over MOUZ.

Spirit's lineup following the change should look as follows:

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

Russia Sergey "⁠hally⁠" Shavaev (coach)

HeavyGod and Ropz are anchors and definitely stars of their teams because they can provide sometimes even more impact than their star roles players Zont1x sometimes is good in clutches but is loosing a lot of duels and is quite useless on the T side

Spirit players in general look weaker on T side than on CT side. I think the problem is with their in-game calling and planning. A lot of pros have said that Spirit T side is easy to read. I would rather blame chopper and hally than zont1x. HeavyGod is really good but it's not like G2 is filled with star players and ropz is literally just an anomaly for anchors. Comparing other anchors to ropz is like comparing other AWPers to ZywOo or other riflers to donk. Zont1x is still statistically the 2nd best anchor right now, only behind ropz, and HLTV always love to mention in their EVP lists that zont1x didn't make it to the list because he lacked a high ceiling despite having a high floor. A high floor and consistency is exactly what you'd want from your anchor. Replacing zont1x for tN1R instead of zweih or chopper is not a good move.

He is definitely not the second best anchor. He rarely can get a multikill even on CT side while holding the plant because of his aim and bodyshots. You also cannot build a strong T side if you have passive players with weak mechanics. That's why Magixx and Zont1x needed to go. Spirit planned to change 2 players in summer, just couldn't buy Tn1r earlier for some reason. We have Kyousuke as a Donk #2, Teses is quite strong mechanically to be a great anchor, Mezi also much better than Zont1x. Replacing an awper is even easier. M0nesy can easily replace Zywoo if he returns his consistency that he had last year, Molodoy is also great. Sh1ro and torzhi are doing good if not choking in finals. The main idea, if you have an inconsistent mechanically weak player you just cannot build a strong top tier team with him. Objectively, Magixx and Zont1x are tier 1.5-2 players with weak mechanics and low celling. They do not have individual skill hight enough to win trophies if Donk doesn't show record-breaking numbers in the tournament. You have to replace these players to get a more stable result, as you cannot rely solely on Donk because if he show 1.3 instead 1.5-1.7 it's already not enough in this case. I would like to replace Chopper but there are no good russian-speaking IGLs. Boombl4 is not better as for me.

Not true at all. Zont1x is one of the most consistent anchors right now. He lacks the peaks of TeSeS and mezii but his floor is noticeably higher than theirs. Zont1x has good mechanics but above all he has better game sense and statistically he is only below ropz as an anchor. That's a fact. Zont1x is solid and there's no point in benching him when you have a tier 2 IGL on your team with weak game sense and a rookie who is worse than zont1x. You say that there are no good Russian IGLs, and I agree, which is why I would like to see zont1x be given a chance due to him being a smarter player than chopper. I know stats aren't everything for IGLs, but chopper's stats are objectively bad too for IGL standards considering the rotator roles he plays. I have zero doubts that zont1x would be better than chopper in that role. Brollan proved everyone wrong, I hope zont1x does the same.

Low impact? Tell me you don't watch Spirit games without telling me you don't watch Spirit games. 2nd highest rating among anchors against top 5 and top 10 by the way. Do you seriously think aim is only about hitting headshots? He has the highest spotted accuracy in tier 1 which has to account for something. To call zont1x low impact is just pure ignorance.

He has 0 impact on the T side, completely useless there and has weak movement and mechanics. Only clutches are not enough. Finally they changed him and I really happy. It'll be even better if they would change Chopper and if Sh1ro doesn't choke every final but it's more complicated.

I am not against adding tN1R. I woulf rather see -chopper +tN1R and zont1x to IGL, or just -zweih +tN1R. You are seriously underrating how smart and consistent of a player zont1x is.

There are literally no other Russian-speaking IGLs at the top-tier level now. But yes, I would also like to see a better IGL. Hopefully, they will be able to improve their T side and change playstyle and stratbook to not only rely solely on Donk open frags after adding more skilled riflers. Even with one change of Magixx to Zweih, they already won MOUZ. And I refer to the group stages when they had OT and close games again, not to the final when MOUZ choked. Zweih has better individual mechanical skill and a higher ceiling. After getting Tn1r and giving him a bit more space, they can do much better on their T side, as you MUST have at least two strong individual players for this that can be aggressive if needed to make a difference on the map. Sh1ro is a passive awper so he cannot do that like S1mple in his prime or M0nesy, so they need better riflers. Zont1x and Magixx couldn't do anything because they were too passive with weak aim and could be used as bait only but that's not enough.

There is a big difference between players like Teses, Tn1r, HeavyGod and Zont1x in their individual skill and impact.

Why keep chopper and zweih? Zweih is new and can get better but there's no justification to keep him over zont1x. Chopper has been bad at IGLing for so many games against top teams in the last year or so that I don't see why they wouldn't at least try out zont1x. Fissure Playground 2 is coming up so that could be one of those pointless events taking place in their hometown where they could try out zont1x in chopper's roles. Chopper is also kinda old and he has been getting worse at the game, and he has even been talking about having health issues. Shouldn't he focus on those instead? Will those keep interrupting with his abilities to play? They even had to skip Melbourne because of them. Why bench zont1x, a smart player with a personality like Brollan? He could make a very good IGL in the future.

Stallex doesn't know that anchor role is for CT side only. Or are you one of those who believe anchoring is done on T side? Zont1x has 1.12 rating on CT side which is exactly what I said. Chopper is the main problem in Spirit. Zont1x is also better than both magixx and zweih and I would also rate him higher than tN1R.

Secondary caller is not an igl. IGLs are often vocal and demonstrate leadership on the server, hence why Brollan to IGL was very very iffy since he was definitely the introverted and quiet dude on the team. zont1x is not that kind of dude nor is he the best at being super sacrificial to make up for that loss unlike a mag1xx would.

He didn't really LEAD them he was just a piece that said where to go and basic defaults. Imo a leader needs to command their players and be a captain. For example Karrigan, Apex, Zeus, AleksiB, Ex6tenz, Seangares. Have back bone and tell the team what to do when they won't listen. Someone introverted and quiet probably won't have the courage to actually tell the team to listen when it's alot of comms and crazy in TS. Gotta be a captain that can convince the players that HE'S in charge. P.S I definitely don't think Electronic is doing a good job yelling and being obnoxious to his teammates he goes overboard.

I agree with this. Leader and IGL are separate things that very often overlap. You can be a good IGL and a mediocre leader and vice versa. Still I think every IGL should have leader qualities, after all he is the one calling the shots.

Brollan was also the most introverted guy on the team and you act like zont1x is actually mute. I'd rather try the guy who knows what's up, what went wrong and why they lost as IGL than the clueless guy who thinks they lost a game because of youth.

Based on what? Your suspicion? Why not bring magixx back then for the vibes? I'd rather keep the player who actually performs when it matters than going for some comedian with 0.80 rating. I know tN1R is good, but can he actually be better and more consistent than zont1x? I don't think so, and zont1x is great as an anchor for his age. If chopper is good enough to call "donk go kill" then why isn't zont1x?

After I watched Spirit's vlog I knew Spirit was going to lose in the quarterfinals; because zont1x didn’t attend the team dinner for chopper’s birthday. Unless there was an emergency in zont1x personal life, not participating in team activities is -EV and shouldn’t happen.

Haven't you noticed donk's face. He is always sulking with zont1x next to him. 0 eye contact. Even when zont1x wins a clutch donk screams like solo. zont1x also act like he doesn't enjoying team's win. Something isn't right between him and donk

They've been playing together on and off since their joint stint in TSA. One would think that donk would have been well aware of this and understand that zont1x isn't emotive or emotional at all.

Zont1x has been assisting chopper as IGL for 2 years by now. Chopper has been bad for over a year and only had 1 good game at Cologne. His strats have been tier 2-3 for so long. Give zont1x a chance and see if he develops into a Brollan. He is much more promising and has a far better future ahead of him in CS than chopper does.

I'm pretty sure that Chopper is the Karrigan type of igl with hours of prep before the game + it's known that Sh1ro is the often calling if not Chopper. Helping with calls midgame is not being an igl

If chopper has hours of prep before the game and that's what his performance looks like almost every game, please bench him immediately. Chopper lost me with this. hltv.org/news/42012/chopper-it-was-a-tou.. Chopper on why Spirit lost to MOUZ in Austin >Why do you think it happened? >I think because it's the Major, it's the playoffs, we're still young players, and sometimes it happens. ???? Imagine blaming youth when the only two young players in your roster were the only ones who showed up, zont1x and donk. If chopper can't even understand what went wrong there, what makes him a good IGL then? Zont1x on the other hand immediately knew what went wrong based on his post-game interview and he justifiably cooked chopper.

Chopper did not make donk who he is. Donk even said that it was his time at Spirit Academy who made him into a tier 1 player. That's also why kyousuke joined Spirit Academy. The real masterchef is s0tf1k.

What has Chopper done for donk except dropping an AK for him and acting as a personal shield? You are not really an IGL if you are saving every round where your star player dies. Any random lvl8 can do that too.

Being a 2nd caller means bringing ideas during the game Being IGL means being a leader, doing a lot of off stage preparations and taking responsibility for your team's gameplan Two different things. Not every 2nd caller is destined to be an IGL.

Never said that but chopper has not been good at leading his team in crucial moments and makes baffling calls/decisions in some crucial rounds. If Spirit had someone like Aleksib I wouldn't call fo him to be replaced despite his tier 3 firepower. I've seen enough of chopper to think that he doesn't cut it to be an IGL in a top 3 team when he mostly relies on firepower. Russian-speaking IGL market is dry, which is why I'd like to see zont1x try out the role. Maybe he'll end up like Brollan, maybe like Twistzz, but I do know that chopper has been underwhelming for 12 months and if he continues to lead like that, no amount of roster changes, which doesn't include chopper, will solve their problems. I hope I'm wrong about this season, but I am not wrong about chopper in the past 2 seasons.

Technically a good move but honestly I think spirit should have tried to fix their problems differently than the CIS super team approach they are going for.

doesn't have to be, sometimes when you stack younger talents whom you can polish with someone experienced player as chopper with tier-1 set up they can give a good outcome in some time, take example of gambit youngsters, they all were kind of young and talented, they became good in their time, don't think team like spirit would be willing to break their colonge winning roster if they don't see the potential.

Dude you just make the example of gambit youngsters team but these players have been unknown before they stacked, you should get the idea that young prospects rarely match in super team, the good example is Cloud9.. i mean gambit youngsters players have grown up grinding csgo together in covid times almost 24/7, they haven’t been stacked as existing prospects on pro scene

Vitality won the major in 2023 and still kicked dupreeh for flameZ. A competent org knows how to plan for the future and that was a 10/10 move by Vitality. Spirit should have -magixx +kyousuke after Shanghai, but they're not as competent as Vitality, and kicking zont1x now makes it even worse when he is one of their best and most consistent performers when it matters the most.

He rejected them after m0NESY joined Falcons. Even Richard Lewis reported and said according to a source he trusts kyousuke became upset with the Spirit org for not promoting him to the main roster. There's even an interview from early 2025 where he even says that he is ready to play new roles in the main Spirit team. If Spirit had promoted kyousuke after Shanghai, he'd still be on the main roster. They took too long and that's why he wanted to join somewhere else and it helped that the other team was offering him a massive bag along with NiKo and m0NESY. None of this would have happened if Spirit had just benched magixx after Shanghai and promoted kyousuke immediately.

If they were futureproofing they wouldn't replace a 20 year-old with a 24 year-old and keep a 28 year-old unc with health issues as their IGL instead of giving their smart, promising 20 year-old, who also happens to be secondary IGL, a chance at taking the main IGL role. Chopper has been underperforming as IGL for so long and zont1x has been overperforming in his role and has showcased really good game sense. It's a bad move and Spirit management is showing their incompetence just like when they didn't promote kyousuke sooner to replace magixx.

It's not that tN1R is a bad addition to the roster. It's the benching of zont1x that is garbage. He should not be benched before zweih or chopper. I swear he would do better than them both in their respective roles.

I genuinely feel like this is Cloud9 all over again, throwing shit on the wall until something sticks. tN1R is a great player, just I don't feel like this move pays off unless zont1x becomes the IGL instead of chopper. This transfer, while boosting the firepower of the team, would not fix all problems within Spirit's structure.

100% it was tn1r's own condition before signing with HEROIC. essentially "yeah guys I'll play with you, but if Spirit get interested in me I'm out". Really smart because there were already rumours about Spirit looking to make changes, and I think HEROIC is the only org that would allow that lol, they're money farming.

no what? are you 7, lets see if he does it without donk?? youre actually 7 right. thats not at all the point YOU were making. zontix on ct side does that because standing still gets you killed in high level cs. hes an anchor, if he leaves site they cant just throw another player to fill that in, the whole point of him is to be first contact and prevent an easy rotate. so saying that tN1R will HAVE to do the SAME THING, thats how the games played at this level

The HEROIC organisation reminds me of Brighton football club. Buy potential young players for a low fee, build them up, and sell them at a high price to rich clubs / orgs, while already having a capable replacement in place (or planned). Kudos to their recruitment team for being able to do that consistently for the past few years.

Not necessarily. They've also sold some...not so young players like the trio delivered to Falcones as the Saudi org desperately wanted a core with which they could get invites to top tier tournaments from the start. Heroic: here, have these guys for millions of bucks, we'll just get some others and grind back towards the cup. Result: now Falcones are 7th overall (and the funny thing is that they were threatening to get to the top when they had the Heroic trio, not lately when they brought in some Russians for even more money) and Heroic 17th, only about 200 points lower. Not so shabby.

Odd move, to be honest... Don't get me wrong - I can see the value in TN1R over zont1x, and statistically speaking, it's a straight firepower upgrade. It's just the overall timing of the move, as zont1x doesn't deserve to be removed and Spirit are arguably even still on BLAST Bounty S2 because of zont1x... so it's just business and a free upgrade at the expense of zont1x, sadly.

This is very true. After reading NeL's tweet, reportedly TN1R had a buyout clause that must be respected.

tn1r is a scam. Getting set up every round, always the one eco-hunting (Most amount of low impact frags) and still 1,06. He’s OK in a Star role in a t2 team. But another role and on a t1 team with real stars, naahh… this wont age well

This is a move I like a lot more that what they did with zweih. zont1x was great on CT side, but lacked impact on T side and that's something TN1R can bring to Spirit while also being a solid anchor.

tbh having 3 rifler stars on one team is begging for the classic superteam disaster. Happy for TN1R though, his talent deserves a top team. Seems like they want to remove donk as the opener and make him a niko role type player. TN1R and zweih to open, donk to midround frag into the win.

beating exhausted Mouz who wasted all their energy and emotions on beating Vitality prior to gf wasn't something hard, even Spirit players understand that and said about it in every interview, their firepower would still be not enough to compete with Falcons and Vitality, so it's reasonable to take tn1r asap, instead of wasting another 6 months losing to Nikyousukenesy and flamezropzwoo

I want to know zont1x story if this happens, maybe it was his decision. I like tn1r but I like magixx more and zont1x even better, I hope its not the case and zont1x stays in the roster for many years, thats where spirit excellence came from, very robust and stable player as anchor & lurker role should be.

I know tN1R is the hot new commodity and he is very good, but I’m not sure if replacing zont1x is a good idea. Even if tN1R is better than him tN1R is a stat rifler that will be competing/clashing with Donk a bit I think. We’ll see how it goes, feels bad for zont1x

Of course you haven't pumped up your intellect, it's obvious that if the transfer is really confirmed, then it won't be Zont1x that will be replaced, but Chopper, for Myroslav all that will change is his role in the Spirit

At this point it's so obvious. First you kick magixx who is unargueably way better than ego boosted zweih. And then you REMOVE ZONT1X who is Ukrainian BRUH. If this isn't Russian influence then the Org has to be tripping

Finally the roster is complete and looks scary! Btw those ppl who told that chopper is a problem never made a bet cap vs cap in their lives cos in terms of firepower he is strong af. And also team tactics are strong thats why they won few big events even with upset of some players
