Miposhka about the defeat from Nigma: “It happens. The tournament continues"

Team Spirit coach Yaroslav Miposhka Naydenov summed up the team’s performance in the group stage of The International 2026 Dota 2. He believes that the team had a bad day.

The game day is over. Somehow it was unfortunate. WITH PARIVISION. She had a good draft in the first one. The opponents had a faster draft. They played very well. They quickly seized the initiative and did not let go. In the second, everything was not as bad for us as compared to the first. But we were not able to realize the benefits of our peak at all. The enemies simply leveled up AFK, became huge, found fights and naturally won. With Nigma, we reached a comfortable situation on both maps, but somehow we couldn’t play normally, think through how we were going to fight. Today is kind of an unfortunate, sluggish day. Perhaps they were unable to reboot after yesterday. Happens. The tournament continues. Tomorrow there is a match with Team Resilience. We will try to rest, prepare, and get ready. We didn't play well today.

Team Spirit failed to qualify directly for the playoffs in two attempts. First she lost to PARIVISION, and then failed to cope with Nigma Galaxy. In the play-off match, Naydenov’s team will have to meet Team Resilience.
