Team Spirit manager Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov spoke during a livestream about why Ilya “Yatoro” Mulyarchuk didn’t take a vacation after The International 2026, and also discussed the possibility of Yaroslav “Miposhka” Naidenov coaching another team. Clips from the stream have been posted on the LEGENDWP channel.
Yatoro simply didn’t want to take a vacation. Where does his motivation come from? It’s best to ask him. Ilya is very athletic, and that’s wonderful.
It all depends on Yarik’s desire. Well, a loan is a loan—that’s understandable—but it basically all depends on Yarik’s desire. If Yarik comes to us and says he really wants to coach your team, what questions could there possibly be? There’s always a way to make it work. As for whether it’s realistic—well, I don’t know about that; I can’t say. You’d really have to ask Yarik himself.
Any player has a chance to become the best. That’s obvious, because any “best” status is temporary. Remember, even if we just look at Eastern Europe: one player is on top now, then another, then a third. If we’re talking about someone’s GOAT status, then yes, that’s eternal.
Earlier, Korb3n commented on Alan “Satanic” Gallamov’s transfer to PARIVISION and also spoke about the possible return of Magomed “Collapse” Khalilov and Yaroslav “Miposhka” Naidenov to Team Spirit.
