The most heartbreaking loss in 16 years—I’m ashamed in front of everyone, in front of the management, in front of the VP fans, and in front of myself. So close, yet so far. There are a million questions about our level of play.
Congratulations to the league and Stranger—luck favors the lucky.
Tilt. But we need to pull ourselves together somehow before Riyadh (Paris).
Earlier, Virtus.pro lost to L1GA TEAM in the European qualifier finals for The International 2026. The team lost 1-2 and missed out on a chance to advance to the main tournament of the year. The region’s final slot will be decided today in a match between Yellow Submarine and Nigma Galaxy.
