Miposhka Discusses How He Works with Team Spirit Players at The International 2026

Yaroslav “Miposhka” Naidenov stated that at The International 2026, he is trying to focus as much as possible on working with Team Spirit’s supports, since he himself played that position for a long time.

The team captain made this statement on Twitch.

“My approach to drafts hasn’t really changed, because I used to put a lot of work into preparing for them. Now I’m trying to coach my supports because I played that position a lot. I’m constantly trying to help them and explain how to place wards. I also watch a lot of replays of our opponents’ games and our own. I try to identify mistakes we can correct and find a different approach to certain situations. All in all, it’s a lot of work.”

According to Yaroslav “Miposhka” Naidenov, the team’s approach to drafts at The International 2026 isn’t much different from previous tournaments, but the coach is currently working actively with the players in the fourth and fifth positions, helping them develop. The coach also added that he’s currently watching a lot of game replays, analyzing his team’s mistakes and their opponents’ vulnerabilities.

As a reminder, Magomed “Collapse” Khalilov previously spoke about Team Spirit’s challenges at The International 2026.
