However, we have put it off, often due to circumstances beyond our control. Women's esports is an area that is growing so fast that it cannot wait any longer. After following this sphere for a long time and considering many teams, we finally decided that this particular lineup is currently performing at a good level and can become a part of Team Spirit. ‘This is the first-ever female roster in the history of our organisation, so we can call it a double experiment: female and European, English-speaking roster. I sincerely hope both experiments will succeed and the girls show their best qualities."
