Donk said that people hate hally unreasonably

Team Spirit CS2 member Danil donk Kryshkovets spoke about the hate towards Sergei hally Shavaev. In an interview with the .org portal, Kryshkovets said that it is stupid to consider Shavaev a bad coach.

["Negative opinion about Spirit's results has shifted heavily toward hally since his return to the team. Many have talked about the results under S0tF1k and the fact that hally is back in charge of the roster. Do you think that from the outside is a fair assessment of what is happening in the team and its results? Does everything really depend on the coaching staff and the changes that have occurred?"] Honestly, people will always discuss and hate someone. If you win, they will, how to say... praise that person. If you lose, they will hate him very much. This is how Counter-Strike works: if you lose, they will hate you, if you win, they will love you. And that's basically it. I don't think we need to pay attention to it because it's just a media story. We don't need to prove anything to anyone. It would be stupid not to consider Hally a great trainer. Before the roster change, he led the team to the semifinals and quarterfinals of the major. Even without me, at their peak they were a top-5 team in the world. He's a great coach, and I think that's obvious to anyone who knows Counter-Strike.

Team Spirit has officially started working with two coaches ahead of the IEM Cologne Major 2026. The second mentor was Dmitry S0tF1k Forostyanko. Both specialists missed the major due to various problems and helped the team remotely. Many in the community began to attribute the roster’s failures to Shavaev.
