Misha on Team Spirit: “MiLAN had their draft stolen right before The Int, and on top of that, they took Larl out of all the possible options.”
Former OG coach Mikhail “Misha” Agatov commented on Telegram about the change in drafters at Team Spirit.

Puppey vs. MiLAN (lol)
They took the draft away from MiLAN right before the Int, and on top of that, they took Larl out of all possible options.
In my opinion, Spirit has a very strong roster, with two ultra-high-skill players in the support roles, but they’re rookies and lack drafting experience—they’re purely executors.
First Yatoro took on the captaincy, now it’s Larl. I believe that any of the three Spirit “cows” has enough understanding of Dota, logic, and opponents, but now there’s a dilemma: Den either has to prepare for several hours before every offline match and at the end of every day for drafts, or he plays MMOs and rests. Now Larl is going to be exhausted.
It would be great if the team had a sixth member who’s always with the team, knows what the team wants to play, has been in the lineup for a long time, knows what the enemies will play, and brings it all together to draft for Team Spirit.
Oh yeah, there is such a person—Korb3n, could you help Team Spirit and draft for them? Because no one else comes to mind.
Earlier, Team Spirit did not receive an invitation to The International 2026. The team will need to compete in the European closed qualifier, for which the organizers have allocated four spots in the main tournament due to the merger of the Western and Eastern regions.
