Team Spirit manager says Miposhka will not return as a player

Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov said that Yaroslav “Miposhka” Naidenov is unlikely to want to return to the Dota 2 professional scene as a player, if he even wants to come back at all.

The Team Spirit manager shared this during a Twitch stream.

“My opinion: Miposhka will not return as a player. I don’t claim to be right. I read his interviews, and there he talks with dyrachyo about how bad it is to be a professional player. If he stays inactive for a year, there must be an insanely strong desire to come back. And usually, there isn’t one, especially when you’re no longer 20 years old”

The manager also reminded that Miposhka plans to stay inactive for a year. Korb3n emphasized that after such a long break, not many players want to return to competing. In addition, Miposhka himself has said that he no longer wants to play, while the coaching role has started to interest him.

Nevertheless, the player’s exact plans are still unknown and the former Team Spirit captain, if he wishes, could return to the roster earlier than expected or even play at The International 2026.
