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. BetBoom Dacha - Online Stage, qualifying for the main stage of the tournament with a prize pool of $250,000, ended with KZ Team in 5th-6th place.
