- Spirit Academy drops their full 2026 CS2 roster, spotlighting in-game leader Vitaly "VILBy" Zakharyuta and Ukrainian rifler Volodymyr "mazay" Iorhachov.
- Coach Dmitry "S0tF1k" Forostyanko stays on board.
- Retained AWPer Kirill "Kiryasoo" Solovkov anchors the squad alongside rising names Yury "kidofpain" Sokal and Nikita "s1nside" Besedin.
The organization just announced their 2026 lineup, and it's packed with young guns who could be the next big thing in Counter-Strike 2. Leading the charge is Vitaly "VILBy" Zakharyuta as the in-game leader, bringing his experience from a few LanDaLans with Chimera to call the shots.
This comes right after a strong 2025 where several academy prospects leveled up to tier-one squads. Names like Maxim "kyousuke" Lukin, Alimzhan "Alkaren" Bitimbay, and Daniel "syph0" Ageyev all graduated successfully, proving the academy's knack for developing stars. Dmitry "S0tF1k" Forostyanko remains at the helm, and his track record speaks for itself. The guy knows how to mold raw potential into pros.
A standout returnee is Volodymyr "mazay" Iorhachov, the young Ukrainian rifler who dipped his toes in last summer with 29 maps under his belt. Studies in Germany cut his practice time short back then, but he's all in now. Check his X bio, it straight-up says 'Star Rifler,' and he's gunning to carry the torch like donk and kyousuke did before him.
