Team Spirit captain injured ahead of ESL One Birmingham

Yaroslav "Miposhka" Naidyonov injured his knee while playing soccer, causing the cyber athlete to be put in a cast on his leg. Nevertheless, the injury will not prevent the Team Spirit captain from participating in the ESL One Birmingham 2024 tournament.

Miposhka published a comment on the incident on his personal channel in Telegram, attaching a photo of the injured limb.

"Tragedy in two frames, played soccer -> unsuccessfully turned my leg in the end displaced the kneecap like, when almost sat in the car to go to the trauma center inserted itself back (what was the kaif) in the end plaster still put on for 2 weeks as the displacement remained small, so now if you want to look at the man with crutches in the arena welcome. And come up with a legend that I will tell in an English interview and on the cast to collect signatures to then raffle?))))"

The ESL One Birmingham 2024 tournament will begin on April 22 and will last one week. It will feature 12 teams competing for $1 million dollars. Team Spirit got a slot in the tournament through the top grid of the closed qualifiers, but the team has been going through a losing streak lately. At the last Elite League Championship, the team shared 14th - 14th place with BOOM Esports.

Recall that earlier the famous caster Vladimir "Maelstorm" Kuzminov predicted a reshuffle in the lineup in case of failure at the upcoming tournament.
