Miposhka assessed Spirit’s drafts on the second map against Liquid in the survival matches at the Esports World Cup 2026
Team Spirit’s Dota 2 coach, Yaroslav “Miposhka” Naidenov, commented on the team’s drafts on the second map against Team Liquid in the elimination matches at the 2026 Esports World Cup for Dota 2 via the team’s Telegram channel.
What’s there to explain? Morphling at pick 23—Ilyukha pulled it off again. Sure, they covered Beastmaster a little bit there—apparently not a super-free pick—but the game itself doesn’t seem all that complicated. Over time, I think he’ll wear everyone down.
Well, overall, the draft went almost exactly according to plan—this one, in the second game. Everything went exactly as planned, except that I expected them to pick a different hero at pick 13, but in the end I decided, “I’m going to stick to the plan anyway.” Overall, I like it—I like everything—and I hope we win.
