Fng on MOUZ in the qualifiers for The International 2026: “But it doesn’t look like they’ll even make it through these qualifiers.”

So, MOUZ lost to Yellow Submarine the day before yesterday. To be honest, *** [they lost horribly]—that was bad. We completely wiped them out. MOUZ was definitely the favorite [against Inner Circle], of course. But it doesn’t look like they’ll even make it through this qualifier.

Although, to some extent, NAVI also disappointed us yesterday. They [“Nigma.” — Ed.] basically handed the signature picks right over to them. Of course, it’s strange to say that SumaiL’s signature hero is Necrophos, but that’s just how it turned out with Nigma’s current roster.

The team’s Tier 1 strategy is built around map movements where you collect bounties.

[NS: “Sometimes they’ll even have three of them lying around.”]

It happens, but I’m sure that, percentage-wise, Tier 1 teams take bounties several times faster and more frequently.

By the way, I’m starting to like Largo-support more and more, because Largo-support is a helper, a buff-giver, a sort of micro-safety net. But Largo-core is *** [who knows what].

[NS: “They added Largo, and that was it: I said so, Alexander Levin said so, and many others did too. When you look at a hero, you haven’t seen him in action yet—you’ve just looked at his skills—and everyone thought he’d be 100% support. But in the end, he just turned out to be overbuffed to the point of absurdity in terms of damage with Aghanim’s Scepter, so he was a carry. But really, if you look at it, of course, he’s a support.”]

Remember, there was a meta back when Lyokha [Solo] was around—they’d pick Majors. Let’s recall what Lyokha played: Ogre—you’d just click on a hero, and he’d have 1,500 HP without any gear. Sure, there were other HP-scaling heroes back then, but that was *** [way too much]—you’d never *** [stand a chance] of killing that Ogre. Then there were Zombies, Bane, and all those others. But now, click on Largo—I’m sure he’s got 2,500 HP with just one Solar.
