not me on preparing for Team Yandex at the 2026 Esports World Cup: “Miposhka needs to analyze this team.”
Team Spirit support player Alexey “not me” Kosmyinin, in an interview following their victory over Team Liquid in the survival stage of the 2026 Esports World Cup, discussed the match and talked about their preparations to face Team Yandex in the playoffs.
On the intense pressure on Team Liquid and the drafts
We had a good draft because Miposhka joined us. Mid-game, we’re playing well against this team; it seems to me they’re playing pretty passively, but overall, everything’s fine.
On the assist record at the tournament
That insane game against MOUZ helped me set the record. We played like bots in that one.
On preparing for Team Yandex
Miposhka needs to analyze this team. That analysis, combined with a good draft, will help us win easily.
Team Liquid finished the Esports World Cup 2026 Dota 2 tournament in 9th–12th place and received $40,000 in prize money. In the survival stage, taking place on July 14–15, 12 teams continue to battle for a spot in the playoffs, with only four advancing.
