Erika: “Western teams are much stronger. We need to learn and improve to play better."

Kerry Team Resilience Yang 'Erika' Shaohan, aka YSR-04E, spoke at The International 2026 about what makes his team special and whether he feels pressure at home.

Kind of yes, because we knew each other and we had synergy. Some I have known for 4-5 years, others 2-3 years.

It's hard to say. In general, Western teams are much stronger. We need to learn and improve to play better.

Of course I'm excited. Everything here is quite convenient.

We were considered a niche team when we ourselves did not understand our actions in the game. But in the end we win.

We're taking the heroes that are currently strong, combined with our signature heroes. It's similar to European teams. This is our starting position. I wouldn't say that the patch helped us. It’s just that over the years of playing together, our understanding has improved and everything has gotten used to it.

Team Resilience took 9th-13th place at The International 2026. In the knockout round of the group stage, the team lost to Team Spirit with a score of 1-2.
