Leonid “chopper” Vishnyakov, the former captain of Team Spirit’s CS2 roster, expressed confidence that Boris “magixx” Vorobyov will manage the new responsibilities he has taken on. Vishnyakov emphasized that the key for Magixx will be to approach matches without letting emotions interfere and to focus on clear, calm decision-making.
"I think Boris will pull it off," Vishnyakov said. "There are impulsive personalities around him, so the need to constantly spark or hype people up will disappear. Boris will just need to monitor the game dispassionately. Don’t pay attention to who’s getting upset; simply make the calls. Also, he must keep communicating and stay in close connection with Sergey hally."
He also noted the tactical side of the role: staying current with the meta and understanding the broader developments in CS. According to Vishnyakov, those are areas where Magixx has never had problems, which further supports his belief that the transition will go smoothly. "I think everything will be great," he added. "There are critical moments when you need to find the right words to bring everyone together, but I don’t think that will be an issue either."
Earlier, Vishnyakov commented on the competitive map pool change that brought the map Anubis back into play. He assessed that Anubis’ return to the map pool should benefit tier-2 teams, giving them new opportunities to compete and develop strategies on a map that can reshape match dynamics.
