Team Spirit captain names those responsible for drafts at EWC

Yaroslav “Miposhka” Naidenov said that he used to take more responsibility for drafts, while Airat “Silent” Gaziev acted as an advisor, but at the Riyadh Masters 2025, responsibility is shared equally between the coach and the team captain.

The Team Spirit captain spoke about this in an interview with Taverna Publishing.

"There was a tournament, BLAST, where I took on a lot of responsibility, and Silent was more of an advisor to me.

Here, we both put in roughly equal effort — 50/50. We sit together, discuss, and think. So no, I wouldn't say that's the case at this tournament."

Yaroslav “Miposhka” Naidenov also commented on Team Spirit's comeback on the first map of the match against Gaimin Gladiators. The player believes that the team members always try to believe in victory until the end and look for possible ways to take the initiative from their opponents if the match is not going in their favor. The captain of Team Spirit noted that the team always tries not to lose hope of victory until the end of the game.

"Well, we just play until the end, try our best, believe in victory, and always try to find some solutions, some way out, something to latch onto. We just play — we try to force the enemy to make a mistake and latch onto that.

I wouldn't say that we have thoughts like, ‘We're losing, now we'll make a comeback. ’ We just try to play until the end."

Earlier, Alexander “Rue” Filin said that Team Spirit FY always believes in the possibility of victory until the moment the team's throne falls, regardless of the course of the match.
