Mira complained about flight issues to Shanghai for The International 2026

Aurora Gaming support player Miroslav “Mira” Kolpakov shared on his personal Telegram channel the difficulties he’s faced traveling to Shanghai, China, for The International 2026.
Today marks the third day I’ve been trying to get to Shanghai. I’m currently in Vienna. I’m about to fly to Budapest. In an hour, I’ll be flying from there—from Budapest to Beijing. From Beijing—unless the flight to Shanghai is canceled again due to wind—I’ll take the train from Beijing to Shanghai, so I think I should finally make it this time, provided everything goes smoothly. I just left the hotel at 7:00 a.m. We’ll see what time I arrive. Once I’m in Beijing, I’ll post another update.
Earlier, L1GA TEAM’s sports director, Alexander “StrangeR” Solomonov, spoke about the team’s imminent arrival in Shanghai: “Thank God, everything’s fine, and now I’m hoping that in about—what is it?—five hours, we’ll be there. PGL is supposed to meet us, and we’ll check into the hotel this evening.”
