Team Spirit`s CEO, Nikita “Cheshir” Chukalin, has explained the team`s decision to substitute Alan “Satanic” Gallyamov with Ilya “Yatoro” Mulyarchuk, who returned from inactivity, at the beginning of 2025. The head of the esports club shared his insights on his Telegram channel, responding to subscriber questions.
According to Cheshir:
Ilya possesses a significantly broader range of capabilities as a carry player, primarily due to his experience. In the team`s current setup, these skills were decisive.
Satanic played for Team Spirit in late 2024 while Yatoro was inactive. Initially, Mulyarchuk did not announce his return date, but he rejoined the active roster in January, replacing Gallyamov. Satanic has since been loaned to PARIVISION.
