Another new strong CIS team has seen the light of day with PARIVISION picking up two of Russia's most talented CS2 players. Artem "⁠ArtFr0st⁠" Kharitonov and Robert "Patsi" Isyanov were announced yesterday night as new players on the team alongside Alexey "⁠Qikert⁠" Golubev.

The three players will replace Bogdan "⁠xsepower⁠" Chernikov, Andrey "⁠BELCHONOKK⁠" Yasinskiy, and Konstantin "⁠Raijin⁠" Trubarov who was part of the team from September until now. The three new signings will be seen as a big upgrade for the roster that is led by the experienced in-game leader Andrey "⁠Jerry⁠" Mekhryakov. As an AWP player, Artem "⁠ArtFr0st⁠" Kharitonov has shown great promise on Team Spirit, who opted to replace him with the Russian star sniper Dmitriy "sh1ro" Sokolov. Robert "Patsi" Isyanov also impressed during his time on Team Spirit, but never found the groove on Team Liquid in 2023. Now the two players will get the chance to showcase their talent on PARIVISION.

The new lineup is already set to make its debut today in the open qualifiers for the PGL Copenhagen Major.

Spirit Academy has been one of the most hyped academy teams in CS:GO recently after some excellent results. Three of the players have now officially been promoted to the main squad, where they will be under the guidance of the more experienced players Leonid "⁠chopper⁠" Vishnyakov and Boris "⁠magixx⁠" Vorobiev.

Danil "⁠donk⁠" Kryshkovets, Artem "⁠ArtFr0st⁠" Kharitonov, and Myroslav "⁠zont1x⁠" Plakhotia will be the new faces on the main roster with Danil "⁠donk⁠" Kryshkovets standing out as one of the most exciting young prospects in CS:GO. At the age of just 16, the young Russian has already put up some very impressive stats rating 1.22 in the last three months.

The three players replace Robert "Patsi" Isyanov (Team Liquid), Pavel 's1ren' Ogloblin (transferlisted), and Igor 'w0nderful' Zhdanov (transferlisted).
