Phobos (right) joined Team Spirit with FNG at the end of 2016
The summer is always a time for changes ahead of the coming season, and Team Spirit have opted to change rather than stick. The current roster, which reunited four of the old VP squad from 2014-2015, was formed at the start of 2018 and eventually qualified for two DPC events after grinding through over a dozen CIS Regional Qualifiers.
Team Spirit attended ESL One Birmingham where they placed 7-9th out of 12 teams and were also part of the Super Major, although they were among the first teams to be eliminated after finding themselves in a group with both TI7 Grand Finalists.
Today Team Spirit revealed the departure of their offlaner Olexandr 'DkPhobos' Kucherya, who joined the team alongside Artem 'fng' Barshack in December 2016. Team Spirit said in their announcement that is likely not the only change the team will undergo as they hunt for "optimal composition" for the upcoming season, and that "some levels of misunderstanding" with Phobos led to his departure.
Team Spirit also mentioned they will soon be competing in small online tournaments to test out "experimental rosters", which include a player that might surprise us.
