Malr1ne gave a straightforward answer about whether he plans to retire

Stanislav “Malr1ne” Potorak stated that he does not plan to retire if Team Falcons wins The International 2026.

The player made this statement on Twitch.

“Well, first of all, it’s not ‘when,’ but ‘if.’ Second, I don’t think so. Of course, it would be ideal if I won. Because I’d immediately chill out and go back to playing Dota completely refreshed. But dreams and reality are two different things, unfortunately. So we’ll see how it turns out.”

According to Stanislav “Malr1ne” Potorak, although the esports player hopes Team Falcons will win The International 2026, he isn’t sure his team will actually be able to pull it off. Nevertheless, if they do succeed, he doesn’t plan to retire but will be able to continue playing while enjoying his career even more.

As a reminder, Stanislav “Malr1ne” Potorak previously named the best midlaner on the Dota 2 pro scene.
