Head coach Sergey “hally” Shavaev and Spirit Academy player Oleg “baz” Kulynych will be the replacements, the organization revealed in the same statement.
This serves as a huge blow for Spirit at the BLAST Premier Spring Groups, as they will miss their by far highest-rated player in donk and a super experienced figure in magixx. Players, who could have made a difference in Group B, where Spirit is placed together with FaZe, Liquid and GamerLegion.
BLAST Premier Spring Groups is set to kick on Monday at 12:00 (CET).
