Danil "donk" Kryshkovets from Team Spirit commented on his personal Telegram channel about his team's defeat by G2 in the first round of the Esports World Cup 2024 playoffs. The Russian cyber athlete took responsibility for the loss and promised to improve.
"I played poorly, just abysmally. This defeat was solely on me; my team played well. I'm sorry for letting you down. I will become stronger, I promise."
Kryshkovets' opponent, Ilya "m0NESY" Osipov, also commented on Telegram about the match. Like donk, m0NESY felt he did not perform well enough in the game.
"We defeated Team Spirit 2-1. My team did great, very well done. Today, I missed a lot with the AWP, but I will definitely come back stronger. Danil, we'll meet again."
Team Spirit concluded their participation in the Esports World Cup 2024, securing a 5th-8th place finish and a reward of $40,000.
