Collapse on Team Spirit: “Miposhka has now taken full responsibility for the drafts.”

Team Spirit offlaner Magomed “Collapse” Khalilov, in an interview following their victory over Nigma Galaxy in the European qualifiers for The International 2026, spoke about the series, the food at bootcamp, the role of Milan “MiLAN” Kozomara on the team, and his collaboration with Yaroslav “Miposhka” Naidenov.
On food at boot camp
Usually, when I’m at home, I don’t really care what I eat. I eat whatever I feel like—just some random food, I’d say. But at boot camp, we have discipline: you just eat what the manager orders. And, of course, this food is much better than what I eat at home.
On MiLAN and Miposhka
I’d say that right now, MiLAN feels like a full-fledged teammate. Usually, we just play public matches together. But sometimes he throws out great ideas for drafts or hero picks, or suggests we try something new. We don’t run into Miposhka in public matches because he doesn’t play them, but MiLAN plays a lot, so we’re constantly sniping each other and playing together—basically, everything’s great. And Miposhka has now taken full responsibility for the drafts.

MiLAN always comes up to us before a match: “Come on, guys, you can do this—let’s go.” Sometimes that’s exactly what we need.
On the series against Nigma Galaxy
To be honest, I didn’t like any of those three maps at all. Those were practically the worst games of my life—all three of them. Our lanes played absolutely horribly. On the first map… I don’t even really remember what was going on there.
We were making some pretty big mistakes there, I’d say. I died without a buyback, then again when Nigma went for the kill. The most critical moment was actually my death without a buyback around the 50-minute mark. After that, our opponents just came in and took down both sides. There was nothing we could do at that point: they came and wiped us out. If I hadn’t died then, we wouldn’t have lost both sides and, most likely, would have won that map.
