donk on magixx as Team Spirit’s CS2 captain: “He’s becoming more and more confident.”
Team Spirit rifler Danil “donk” Kryshkovets shared his thoughts in an interview at BLAST Open Porto 2026 following the match against DENDELE CS and also expressed his opinion on Boris “magixx” Vorobyov as the team’s captain.
On playing on Ancient
I always have a clear plan. On Ancient, there are certain combinations the defense can run, so you just choose exactly what to do.
On magixx as IGL
I think he’s becoming more and more confident in his abilities as IGL. We have complete faith in him and give him the freedom to make his own calls. Overall, he’s improved his skills, and we often sacrifice ourselves to help him.
On Cache
Other teams have realized that Cache is our weak map, so we’ll be working on improving it.
On Anubis
There are too many details on this map that the defense has to take into account. It’s a pretty random map.
Earlier, Team Spirit got off to a strong start at BLAST Open Porto 2026, sweeping DENDELE CS. The “Dragons” proved stronger than their opponent on Ancient (13–8) and Cache (13–7), advancing to the upper bracket semifinals. Following the loss, DENDELE CS will continue their run in the lower bracket, where they’ll play a single-elimination match.
