Pure Took Responsibility for 1Win’s Elimination from The International 2026

Ivan “Pure” Moskalenko believes he demonstrated an extremely poor level of preparation at The International 2026.

The player made this statement on Telegram.

“We played poorly at both The International and the EWC. We weren’t able to play decent Dota toward the end of the season, despite a strong start. I don’t know why.

I played like crap myself. There are no excuses.”

According to Ivan “Pure” Moskalenko’s statement, the esports player acknowledges problems in his gameplay and isn’t trying to make excuses for the failure. The player believes that despite a successful start to the season, the 1win Team roster was unable to finish it on a high note, posting extremely poor results at The International 2026 and the EWC.

As a reminder, Alexander “Nix” Levin had previously harshly criticized Ivan “Pure” Moskalenko’s preparation for The International 2026.
