Korb3n Explained Why Yatoro Didn’t Shave Before The International 2026 Finals

Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov stated that Ilya “Yatoro” Mulyarchuk didn’t shave his head before The International 2026 finals because he didn’t want to wait for his hair to grow back.

The Team Spirit manager’s statement was posted on Telegram.

“Ilya said he doesn’t want to grow his hair out.”

It’s worth noting that at TI15, Ilya “Yatoro” Mulyarchuk broke with the long-standing tradition of shaving his head before major finals, despite the fact that prior to the decisive series, Team Spirit host Vyacheslav “Art1st” Lyadnov posted a photo of a razor, hinting that the esports player planned to take the stage with a shaved head.

As a reminder, earlier, Yaroslav “Miposhka” Naidenov shared his emotions following Team Spirit’s victory in the grand final of The International 2026.
