The esports organization Spirit announced that it will expand its CS:GO roster, which currently includes players from Russia and Ukraine. She plans to create a youth roster consisting of six aspiring e-sportsmen and a coach from the CIS countries. The team will be led by seventeen-year-old Robert “Patsi” Isyanov, who previously served as a reserve player in the first team, and also temporarily played for Espada.
Sergey “hally” was chosen for the role of head coach. Shavaev, former professional CS 1.6 player. He previously worked at Espada, where he trained Patsi and Abdul "degster" Gazanova. Alexey “OverDrive” took part in the search and selection of players. Biryukov. The Spirit youth roster includes esports players from Russia, Belarus and Ukraine with little experience in participating in official matches.
In an interview published on the team's website, hally commented on the selection of players, noting that they all demonstrate good ability, strive to play at a high level and, most importantly, are able to learn quickly and improve their skills. He also mentioned that Patsi received the role of in-game leader largely because there are not enough people on the professional scene in the CIS who can successfully handle this position. Speaking about the team's immediate goals, the coach said that they expect to perform on the same level with teams from the top 50, and also ensure that at least two players grow into real professionals.
