Team Spirit captain Nikita Balagani, better known as Panto, has clarified a remark he made during the English broadcast of DreamLeague Season 27 for Dota 2. The player explained the intention behind his words about personal and organizational growth after joining Team Spirit.
Panto said he wanted to make clear that, in his view, he is already part of the best organization and there is no further room to improve in that respect. What remains for him, he emphasized, is development on a personal level — improving his individual skill and refining draft-related decisions.
In his clarification he put it this way: he is now in the strongest possible team environment, so his path forward is focused on individual form and drafting rather than organizational advancement.
Earlier, Balaganin had remarked that he had nowhere left to grow in terms of individual skill. Since joining Team Spirit he has reportedly stopped airing complaints and says he is enjoying each day with the organization.
