ATF stated that Team Falcons would have stopped Team Spirit had they faced off at The International 2026
Team Falcons offlaner Ammar “ATF” al-Assaf called Team Spirit carry Ilya “Yatoro” a poor laner and claimed that the Middle Eastern club would have beaten the “Dragons” had they faced off at The International 2026.
Dude, Raddan is a bad laner. He’s a three-time TI champ, the best and all that, but his laning is bad. He just doesn’t crumble under pressure, unlike most players, which is why he generally looks better at TI. Well, now we’re about to get crushed, and I’ll have to take my words back.
Here’s the simple truth: if the Falcons had played against Spirit, we would’ve stopped them. Even though we played like crap.
The most likely matchup between these teams at The International 2026 would have been in the lower bracket quarterfinals, but Team Falcons fell just short of that, losing to Team Liquid. According to the stats, Spirit and the Falcons faced off eight times this year, with the “Dragons” securing just one victory.
