Miposhka on not me: “He adapts very quickly, and everyone helps him with that.”
Team Spirit coach Yaroslav “Miposhka” Naidenov shared his thoughts on returning to the year’s biggest tournament in an interview at The International 2026 and spoke about Alexey “not me” Kosmyinin’s play.
On his feelings about returning to The International
I feel great; I really love the crowd. I feel excited, even though I’m not playing.
On “not me”
I’d say he’s still growing with every game, and he’s not quite as consistent yet since he’s a new player on the Tier 1 scene. But he’s adapting very quickly, and everyone is helping him with that. We believe in him and are just helping him do what he wants to do. Sometimes, maybe a little too much.
Earlier, Team Spirit mid-laner Denis “Larl” Sigitov, in a video message for the club’s Telegram channel, assessed the team’s opponent in the first playoff match of The International 2026—1w Team (Iron Wing)—and also talked about preparations for the match.
