Coldstar: “Team Spirit has improved significantly, and I’m really proud of the team. Good job, guys.”

Coldstar: What can I say? I feel great. It feels like we’ve been rewarded for all our hard work and all the obstacles we’ve overcome. We overcame all the problems, anxieties, and trials. It’s because we managed to overcome those difficulties that we became champions.

zaur egoist: It means I can win tournaments. That’s all.

Kid Bomba: This is definitely a big deal, but we have a lot of tournaments ahead of us, and winning MSC 2026 doesn’t mean we’ve stopped wanting to win the next ones. So we’ll focus on our work and keep doing what we’ve been doing.

I want to point out that my mindset hasn’t changed because of the victory. I still think as if nothing has happened. This is probably because I haven’t fully processed this victory yet. I still want to keep winning, as if I don’t feel any sense of satisfaction at all.

SAWO: This victory is certainly incredibly satisfying, and we’re enjoying it. But it doesn’t feel particularly special to us. We’re still hungry for championship titles. Team Spirit still wants to win, and winning MSC 2026 is just really good for us—nothing out of the ordinary. We’ll keep playing as a team and pushing for the top spots. Winning more titles shouldn’t be a reason to stop.

Sunset lover: Of course, I’m very happy, but as has already been said, this moment doesn’t feel particularly special. I sense some significance to it, but hardly enough to make me want to end my career, for example. My thirst for victory remains as strong as ever. I’m hungry for wins in the upcoming tournaments, so I’ll keep working hard, giving it my all, and believing in my dreams.

Coldstar: What’s the biggest change in the team? Well, I’ve been with the guys for almost a year and a half now, and I can say with confidence that every member of the roster has significantly improved their skills since then. It’s hard for me to say how things were before, but over the past year, I’ve seen incredible progress from each of the players.

I’ve seen how Hiko has improved his gameplay and consistency in the first game. When I first joined, he’d sometimes play inconsistently—he’d blow a game or something like that. But now he’s very consistent. He’s the kind of player I feel we can rely on.

Zaur Egoist is, of course, new to our team, but I see his talent and passion, which are very important for a player. He’s young and hungry for victory. And I see how much effort he puts into every call, every moment. He always wants to win, even if it’s just a practice match. That’s priceless and very important.

As for SAWO, I’d say I can definitely sense his progress as well. He’s finding a way to connect with each of his teammates. I think SAWO is probably one of the most team-oriented players I’ve worked with in my career. He’s willing to give his all for others—for his teammates—and to make many sacrifices for their comfort so they feel better. He’s driven to win and wants victories to come more and more often, even though he’s been in this field for seven years. So I’d say that SAWO has made definite progress in working with his teammates and interacting with them. He wants them to improve and wants to improve his own game. I think that’s very important.

We spent a lot of time with Kid Bomba. We discussed the drafts. We had a lot of internal disagreements on various issues. And we faced some difficulties at one point. But despite all the challenges, I can see that this guy has also significantly improved his style, his vision, and his understanding of the game. Every team member is listening to him more and more. He’s willing to learn and improve. That’s very important. I think Kid Bomba has also made tremendous progress this year.

And, of course, Sunset Lover. When I joined the team, he was the most consistent player in terms of both mental resilience and on-court performance. Nothing has changed since then, though I feel that Sunset has also made progress, especially in his interaction with the team. At the beginning, I felt like Sunset was, you know, a little on the sidelines. Over time, he became more and more of a real part of the team. And now none of the guys ever feels alone, so we all work together as a team.

I was very proud of the discipline shown in the Grand Final—listening to how they communicate, what they do, and how they conduct themselves. And I feel immense pride, and I feel that all the work we’ve put in this year has paid off. Team spirit has improved significantly, and I’m truly proud of the team. Good job, guys. You really deserved this victory.

SAWO: And once again, I want to say a few words about the question where you asked me about myself and Sunset lover. Maybe people didn’t quite understand what I meant, so I want to add a few more things.

As I’ve already said, it’s no big deal to me, but he and I are like dinosaurs here at Team Spirit. We’ve been together for seven or eight years—I can’t say exactly how long. And I just can’t imagine what it would be like to be on a team without him. So, to answer the question of what it’s like to play with him for such a long time, I’ll say: it’s just great. And I can’t imagine myself on other teams without him.

Coldstar: I’ll wrap up this point and talk a little about Sunset lover. Despite having been in the game for seven years, Sunset is still so hungry for every match, so hungry for victories. And that’s very important for a player. In my opinion, age doesn’t matter. I’m speaking from my own experience, because I’ve worked in esports for many years and have observed the scene for a long time. It seems to me that if you have a hunger for victory and a desire to win matches and tournaments, then you can keep competing. It doesn’t matter how old you are, or how long you’ve been playing. That doesn’t matter. You can continue your career until you’re 40—or maybe even 50, like in chess. So it’s really cool that SAWO and Sunset Lover have been playing for so many years and still have that hunger. That’s very important, and it makes me very happy. Good job, guys.

Kid Bomba: In the games we lost, I played poorly. And in the ones we won—I played well. That’s all there is to it. Honestly, it’s no big deal to me. The best part, of course, is the money. Well, you know, $25,000.

Kid Bomba: She plays very well. It was really tough to play against her when the Yangon players picked damage-dealing explainers. Later, we realized that if I played damage-focused heroes, we’d have a better chance against Yangon Galacticos. Because Ying only uses those kinds of characters. So I asked my team about it and suggested we pick damage dealers too. The Myanmar team didn’t care about tanks like Esmeralda or Uranus.

This is a completely different approach to Yangon Galacticos. I think other teams lost partly because they didn’t fully understand that if Ying picks damage-dealing heroes, you can pick the same ones too. And then the winner will be whoever plays better macro and performs better in team fights. I think this is the Yangon Galacticos’ biggest weakness. They clearly didn’t take all of our strengths into account. After all, we have a very wide selection of heroes in the draft.
