Team Spirit and Fantastic Five are the latest victims of the five month roster lock down rule, having made a change mid season.
The recent disappointing result from the Manila Major regional qualifiers for Team Spirit, culminating in the team failing to progress beyond the open qualifiers at the hands of Fantastic Five, resulted in both teams undergoing roster shuffles.
Fantastic Five’s carry and offlane players, Alexander 'XBOCT' Dashkevich respectively Andrey 'Ghostik' Kadyk have been announced officially as out of the team yesterday via a vk post.
At the same time Team Spirit let Ilya 'Illidan' Pivcaev and Andrey 'ALWAYSWANNAFLY' Bondarenko go from their roster. Today XBOCT and Ghostik were acquired by Team Spirit, which also brings role swaps inside the squad. XBOCT's old friend and former Na’Vi team mate Gleb 'Funn1k' Lipatnikov, will start supporting him from position four, while Ghostick will occupy the offlane for Team Spirit.
Team Spirit roster:
Alexander 'XBOCT' Dashkevich
Bogdan 'Iceberg' Vasilenko
Andrey 'Ghostik' Kadyk
Gleb 'Funn1k' Lipatnikov
Artur 'Goblak' Kostenko
Regardless of the results that Team Spirit might achieve with the new roster they will not be eligible for any sort of invite at The International 6 as they broke the Spring Shuffle rules, meaning they will be forced to fight for their right to play in Seattle via open qualifiers.
