CS2 analyst Duncan “Thorin” Shields discussed the Team Spirit roster. He commented on the team`s issues, specifically highlighting the role of Danil “donk” Kryshkovets. Shields shared his thoughts on the Last Free Nation Counter-Strike YouTube podcast.
The reason Team Spirit will not win another trophy with their current five is donk. <…> They don`t see any problems with their firepower or with donk carrying solo. <…>
It reminds me of the situation with NAVI during the Astralis era. Remember 2018, when s1mple was the best? I always thought the worst thing that year was that the team decided they could keep flamie and Edward because they had s1mple and electroNic. <…>
If a team thinks they can win, they won`t make changes. They keep working, hoping to pull through. In my opinion, the problem is that donk is carrying the team too much.
