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.
