Ruslana Berest, the roster manager, comments:

«Admittedly, Ilya’s coming to the team put a positive effect on the atmosphere in the team and on each of the players personally. Illidan, fng and DkPhobos have a successful experience of playing together, well-established communication and understanding of how to win. Since that time, each of the players grew professionally, strengthened weak points, and earned new experience. For the short period of playing with Ilya, the roster gained significant results – got to the Major. Illidan quickly managed to set up the communication with other second core iLTW, and due to that the change in position only strengthened the team. I wish Ilya success in our team, together will be able to open up in full and reach settled goals.»

When Pivtsaev joined the team, Igor «iLTW» Filatov was moved to the middle. After the month of Ilya’s playing for Team Spirit, the roster managed to get to the first major of 2018 (Galaxy Battles II), that will take place on Philippines.
