Nix explained why Team Spirit decided to replace Mira

Alexander "Nix" Levin said that Team Spirit replaced Miroslav "Mira" Kolpakov, because it was impossible to find a replacement for other players, and they had Alexander "rue" Filin in reserve.

The streamer said this during a stream on Twitch.

"Rue is a young guy with a red rank, who will play stronger. Mira really sagged at the end of the season. It was necessary to make a replacement, obviously, there was no one to replace except Mira"

Nix emphasized that Mira was not in the best shape, so the club decided to replace him. In addition, he recalled that rue was in the top 100 of the European Dota 2 ladder, so they decided to give him a chance to prove himself.

"You can't remove Collapse or Yatoro, that's a fact. There were no mid laners to replace Denis at that time - everyone was on teams. Miposhka is also irreplaceable. You won't find the same "five", drafter, etc. And it turns out that you can only replace the "four", and you have a guy with a red rank in your academic year, a promising one, who will supposedly play better. But this is just an assumption"

Nix explained that Team Spirit could have replaced Denis "Larl" Sigitov or Yaroslav "Miposhka" Naidenov, but there were simply no players on the pro scene who could play at their level.

Recall that earlier Dmitry "Korb3n" Belov told how Team Spirit was affected by the elimination from The International 2025.
