Yandex is a machine. Grinds any command. Any mistake they make = other players farm creeps and push packs. Your mistake = for this they will take your farm and objective. Spirit - well done. Yes, we lost. Yes, they were outplayed conceptually and on the map. But the team has really grown. Still, Yarik [Miposhka] made a strong impact. We look forward to further development towards Intu itself. The Runiters have already done enough. Top 8 team in the world. Darklord my respect. From the write-off, Kerry makes a double-legged comeback into the final. Happy for him. He had difficult seasons before this. Pari is the only team in the tournament capable of defeating Yandex. BB and Falcon seem to look weaker. But this is purely my opinion. I'm looking forward to this match 🐸

Miposhka returned to Team Spirit at the end of June, taking the position of coach. Together with him and second mentor Milan MiLAN Kozomara, the team performed at the Esports World Cup 2026 in Dota 2. The roster took the top 2 of Group C, losing to PARIVISION, and then reached the playoffs of the competition, beating Team Liquid in the play-offs.
