Team Spirit announced a lineup adjustment. Rifleman Zont1x was temporarily transferred to the inactive list due to personal reasons, and tN1R from HEROIC was officially introduced.
The club announced that Zont1x had taken the initiative to take a break to attend to personal matters. Spirit emphasized that this decision was made with the goal of ensuring roster stability and fully respecting the player's decision. Despite his temporary absence, Zont1x has not left the team, and his future return is highly anticipated.
Since joining in 2023, Zont1x has performed brilliantly in the 2025 season, helping Spirit sweep The MongolZ to win the BLAST Bounty Fall and defeat MOUZ 3-0 in IEM Cologne, taking home $400,000 in prize money.
Zont1x also led the team to victory over Astralis at PGL Astana. However, in the recent BLAST Open Fall closed qualifiers, Spirit was eliminated by G2 Esports and missed the London offline finals.
At the same time, Spirit announced the signing of Belarusian player tN1R. The newly joined rifler won multiple honors during his time at HEROIC, including the MESA Nomadic Masters Spring 2025 championship and the CCT Season 2 World Finals championship.
To welcome the new member, Spirit released a 34-second trailer announcing tN1R's official debut. Fans will soon be able to see him in various Counter-Strike 2 events, including the ESL Pro League Season 22, which begins on September 27th, and IEM Chengdu in November.
