CHIRA_JUNIOR on the victory at BLAST Slam VII: “Team Yandex is back!”
Team Yandex players Dmitry “DM” Dorokhin and Ilya “CHIRA_JUNIOR” Chirtsov shared their thoughts on their victory at BLAST Slam VII on their social media.
CHIRA_JUNIOR: “The tournament is over—we won. It feels really great. I let the team down in the final, of course, but the guys pulled us through—it’s still a thrill.” What can I say? Next up, we’ll give it our all at the Esports World Cup 2026. Thanks to everyone who cheers us on and supports us—I really appreciate it. Team Yandex is back!
DM: The classic circle in the classic T-shirt: whoever wanted one took one. I have this T-shirt with me again; let’s call it a coincidence, or maybe not. We’ll find out at the EWC.
