Kiritych after defeating 1win Team at TI 15: “I’m so happy that if I lose, I won’t even care.”
Kerry BetBoom Team (BoomBoys) Ilya “Kiritych” Ulyanov, in an interview following the victory over 1win Team (Iron Wing) in the first round of the lower bracket at The International 2026, shared his impressions of the match and named Io as the best carry player.
On his feelings about the victory after yesterday’s loss
Yesterday, PARIVISION crushed me—it’s a little sad, and I’m a bit tilted. But I’ve learned some valuable lessons from yesterday’s games. Now I’m ready to fight, ready to lose, and ready to win.
On the best player on Kerry-Io
I don’t know what to say—I think the best player on Kerry-Io is ana, of course. So I’m rooting for ana.
On what tournament finish would make him happy
Bro, I’m already happy—I’m playing at The International in Shanghai. I’m so happy that even if I lose, I won’t care. We’ll see what happens; I just want to play, get better, learn from my mistakes, draw the right conclusions, and improve after every game.
