Results from the second day of play:
Yandex suffered a complete mental breakdown and lost both of today’s matches. Because of this, at best, they’re now bound for the play-ins. If they repeat this performance tomorrow, they’ll be eliminated altogether. I don’t believe this happened without a reason, but I don’t know what it is.
BoomBoys (BetBoom Team) and Iron Wing (1w Team) are holding their own as best they can, though their results could have been even worse.
Aurora, against all odds, played very respectably today, and they didn’t even have to farm a 50k lead to close out the game. I’m sure the victory over Chirak gave their morale a boost.
Spirit’s game—no comment, they’re just damn amazing. I think their play deserves a banana in the jets! Even if my boyfriend forbids me from wearing a turtleneck, he’ll never be able to stop me from admiring Larl’s balls
TEAM VISION (PARIVISION) and Team Spirit will play a playoff match tomorrow, while HULIGANI (LIGA TEAM) and OG will battle for survival.
And anyway, all 5 matches will be played out tomorrow, determining the 3 teams advancing to the playoffs, the 3 worst teams, and the 10 unlucky ones who’ll have to play a best-of-3 survival series.
It’s going to be an awesome Dota match, all in all!

Earlier, Team Spirit coach Yaroslav “Miposhka” Naidenov commented on the group stage of The International 2026: “Maybe it’s a bit of a buff. It’s a tough group, but we’re a bit stronger—about 15 percent. The fourth match doesn’t really decide anything; the main thing is to win three.”
