The Natus Vincere manager commented on Yatoro’s remarks after the first map of the match against 1w Team at The International 2026
Team Spirit carry Ilya “Yatoro” Mulyarchuk insulted his opponents on air after winning the first map (Iron Wing) of their upper bracket quarterfinal match against 1w Team at The International 2026.
“Suck it, *** [freaks].”
Natus Vincere manager Zhanna “Ryzhaya” Batkovna responded to Team Spirit’s carry’s remarks on her personal Telegram channel:
No, that’s not okay—I condemn it. Things like that shouldn’t happen; karma is everything, and you have to respect your opponents. Yes, Yatorich is a genius and delivers an *** [incredible] carry diff, and I adore him as a player for his skill, but this is *** [nonsense]—it’s unacceptable.
Earlier, Zhanna commented on the suspension of LGD Gaming mid-laner Santiago Gustavo “TaiLung” Olivares Agüero from The International 2026 and PGL tournaments: “We have to give credit to PGL, who ban these guys time and time again and don’t drag this whole thing out.”
