tN1R: Spirit can win even when donk is not playing well

Team Spirit player Andrei “tN1R” Tatarinovich said the team can win even when Danil “donk” Kryshkovets is not at his best, Cybersport.ru reported on Nov. 10.

tN1R called donk one of the main reasons for Spirit’s success. According to him, donk gives the rest of the team a lot of space, and it is easier for the others to play when he performs well. He said the same could be said of ZywOo.

Winning without donk in form

tN1R pushed back on a view he said many people hold: that Spirit cannot win if donk does not show a good game. He said that is not true, adding that winning is, of course, easier with donk in form.

Spirit’s next match

Cybersport.ru reported that Spirit play FUT Esports in their first group-stage match at BLAST Rivals Fall 2026. The match is scheduled for Nov. 11 at 10 a.m. MSK.
