To anyone seeking more clarity regarding my departure from Team Spirit's active roster After the major I asked the management for a break from competing due to several personal reasons. Since the organization needed time to arrange a transfer for a replacement we agreed that i will have to play for some time after summer players break. I am expected to be back competing this winter.
