SVG Reveals Who Helped Team Spirit Win The International 2026

Avery “SVG” Silverman believes that Team Spirit would not have won The International 2026 without Yaroslav “Miposhka” Naidenov.

The player made this statement on YouTube.

“I think Miposhka had a huge impact on Spirit. I don’t think they would have won TI15 without him. In fact, I don’t think they would have even made it into the top 6.

As far as I’m concerned, Miposhka has significantly changed the way supports play. The further into the tournament they went, the more evident this became. He mentioned this himself.

I also believe the team has become much better at drafting with him. I’d call his role pivotal. It seems they didn’t win a single LAN tournament that year without him. He joined—and within a month, they won their third TI title. He’s the best of the best.”

According to Avery “SVG” Silverman, Yaroslav “Miposhka” Naidenov had a strong influence on Team Spirit’s gameplay while working with the team as a coach. The esports player believes that without him, the team wouldn’t even have made it into the top 6, and the roster’s progress was very noticeable throughout the tournament. SVG also believes that Miposhka has greatly improved Team Spirit’s drafts.

As a reminder, Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov previously spoke about Team Spirit’s slumps in performance.
