"Team Spirit is an international esports organization that has proven to be among the world's best. Victories at The International, Riyadh Masters, and IEM Katowice are worthy results, but we don’t intend to stop. Therefore, the Team Spirit family is getting bigger and the organization is spreading to new disciplines. This year, we decided to pay close attention to mobile gaming. Throughout the organization's existence, our strategy has been to recruit young talented players and help them find their way to the top tier. This time is not an exception: we believe that this Mobile Legends: Bang Bang roster will rise above the competition and quickly become part of Team Spirit's DNA," said Nikita Cheshir Chukalin, CEO of Team Spirit.
He further added that despite the tough competition in the MLBB esports scene, the team is looking forward to show their competitive spirit. “We believe in the guys and know what they are capable of. At the same time, we will do everything in our power to make them feel comfortable both during training and playing at major competitions. So that the only thing they are focused on will be their performance.”
