Kaori on leaving EWC 2026: “I hope we’ll play better at Inta”

The final video blog from the Esports World Cup 2026 was released on the Aurora Gaming YouTube channel, in which the players speculated which of the club members could be the best guy for their daughter, and also spoke about elimination from the tournament.

Mikoto: [Imagine that your daughter is the same age as them]. I wouldn't worry if my daughter went on a date with Ws or kaori. But only with one of them. [ Would Ws and kaori be good husbands? ] Yes, they are very calm.

DoublA: With kaori it's ok, with Mikoto it's ok, with Ws it's ok, with kpii... with an asterisk, but ok. The two most difficult ones left are Nightfall and Mira. I'll say no to Nightfall because it's demanding. I think he will communicate... [Don’t you want to give your girl into these hands? ] No, I just know him... [Will he tell her: “Bring it, give it, go *** [to hell], don’t bother me”? ] Yes, this is not necessary. I can do this too. I will say that kaori. He's cool, he's cute. I like him.

kaori: [Who would you choose? There are no options not to take any of these people]. DoublA. He is smart and tall.

Ws: Would you never let go without a date? It's probably Nightfall. He's a little crazy. [Who would you let be her boyfriend? ]DoublA. Because he can solve any problem.

Mira: [Which member of the team would you categorically forbid her to meet? ] The answer is obvious. Obviously with Mikoto. Obviously, she won't be able to communicate with Mikoto. [For what reasons? Do you think he's an abuser? ] One hundred percent yes. Plus he is a gigolo and will most likely be toxic in a relationship. It has a lot of disadvantages. [But who would you directly bless with? Nightfall, I guess, right?] Obviously with Egor. The calmest, most reserved, most emotionally open person I have ever known in this life. So it's obvious what's wrong with him.

Ws: [How are you feeling now? A little better or still hard? ] I'm still sad. But everything has already happened, we cannot change it.

kaori: [Perhaps there is something you want to convey to the audience, the fans? ] Cheer for us. I hope we will play better at Inta.
