rue commented on the victory over Team Yandex at The International 2026
Team Spirit support player Alexander “rue” Filin recorded a video message for the team’s Telegram channel following their match against Team Yandex in the playoffs of The International 2026.
Hi, everyone! We played against Yandex and won 2-0. The games weren’t super difficult—we were in good form and had solid drafts. We’ll be facing PARIVISION in the final; this will be our third time playing them. Come watch some great Dota and cheer us on. See you in about an hour.
Spirit and PARIVISION (TEAM VISION) first faced off in the group stage of The International 2026, when Clement “Puppey” Ivanov’s team won 2-0. In the upper semifinal, PARIVISION defeated the “dragons” again, though they did lose one of the maps. In the grand final, the teams will play a best-of-three series.
