Collapse Identifies the Reason Behind Team Spirit’s Struggles at The International 2026

Magomed “Collapse” Khalilov stated that Team Spirit’s players lost confidence in their abilities after a crushing defeat against PARIVISION.

The esports player made this statement on Twitch.

“In the series against PARIVISION, they completely crushed us. We discussed it afterward and decided that they’re simply a stronger team, and we’re not quite there yet. But at some point, it seems like we lost our confidence. You could see that in the series against Nigma and today. After the series against Nigma, I honestly wanted to die. But today is a new day, so we wanted to try to do what we could.”

Acording to Magomed “Collapse” Khalilov, the team tried to accept the loss by acknowledging their opponents’ superiority, but in the next match against Nigma Galaxy, the lack of confidence returned, which completely drained the esports player of his strength. Nevertheless, in the elimination stage, the team still managed to defeat Team Resilience, securing a spot in the playoffs.

As a reminder, Kirill “Alagon” Pavlik previously stated that Magomed “Collapse” Khalilov might leave Team Spirit’s Dota 2 roster in the event of an unsatisfactory result at The International 2026.
