KZ Team uniforms
The current KZ Team squad has managed to play in the Monaspa organisation this year, as well as independently as ex-Monaspa. Among their achievements, the players had a successful finish in the DPC WEU 2023 Tour 1: Division II, finishing in second place and earning $16,000. But then a seventh place finish at the DPC WEU 2023 Tour 2: Division I sent them back to Division II. The first tournament in which SsaSpartan and his teammates played as KZ Team was European Pro League Season 11, where they successfully made it through the group stage with 6-1 stats and headed to the top set of play-offs. In the quarter-finals, KZ Team defeated Ram Squad 2-1, before losing to Level UP on two consecutive maps and dropping to the lower grid. A 2:1 win over Ancient Tribe put the Greek-Georgian squad into the semi-finals of the losers' bracket. But Team Sexy were stronger than KZ Team. So the team took the fourth place at EPL Season 11 and earned a consolation prize of $500.
Before qualifying for The International 2023 in Western Europe, KZ Team played in the BetBoom Dacha - Online Stage, an online tournament whose only prize was a slot at BetBoom Dacha, a $250,000 LAN event in Yerevan. SsaSpartan's first opponent on the Play-In stage was Nemiga Gaming. After losing their opening match 0:2, KZ Team dropped to the semi-finals of the lower grid. A 2-0 win over One Move allowed the players to advance to the final of the lower grid. A 0:2 loss to Nigma Galaxy, the future winners of the qualification, was the last game of the BetBoom Dacha - Online Stage for KZ Team.
As a result of the draw, Quest Esports became KZ Team's first opponent at Dota 2 International 2023 - Western Europe Qualifier. After losing 0:2, SsaSpartan and his teammates went down to the bottom of the grid.
