Malik said that if they manage to beat PARIVISION, then they will beat us too - Malady on Rune Eaters

Team Yandex support Arman 'Malady' Orazbaev, in an interview after the victory over Team Spirit at the Esports World Cup 2026, spoke about the secret of the roster's success, explained the purchase of Aghanim's Shard on Undying, and also shared his opinion about Rune Eaters Esports.

It's all about consistency. We're just stable players doing normal things. And it works every time.

I find this item strong. During training, I bought an early Aghanim's Shard, after which, when I killed the Harrower, my second support received the item for free. I think this is a very good option.

The team won the series against Aurora Gaming and has a good chance of passing PARIVISION. I corresponded with Malik, and he said that if they manage to beat PARIVISION, then they will beat us too.

[ Do you really think they have a chance of winning the match and facing you? ] Yes. I'd give them maybe 30% to win.

Earlier, representatives of the Dota 2 community commented on the defeat of Team Spirit from Team Yandex in the quarterfinals of the Esports World Cup 2026.
