Yatoro made his first statement about Collapse returning to the Dota 2 pro scene

Ilya “Yatoro” Mulyarchuk, Team Spirit former carry, has disclosed that Magomed “Collapse” Khalilov has not participated in any public match for a number of months and has plans of making a return to the professional scene in January 2025.

The two-time world champion shared this during the Twitch stream.

“Is Maga playing pubs? Nopes, he is entirely ****. The young lad is chilling. The last pub he played was on 10.09.2024 on Mars. Is Maga intending to come back? Yes, he will return January”

In the opinion of Yatoro, his previous partner in the squad does not participate in any discussions but wishes to rejoin Team Spirit. This was confirmed by the champions – the retainer of the squad Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov previously announced this would take place in January.

Nevertheless, although Collapse has been absent from public match lobbies since the conclusion of The International 2024, he was able to log into Dota 2 at some point. It appears that instead of matchmaking, he chose to host a custom game with his former teammate Miroslav “Mira” Kolpakov. The game was played under very unusual subject matter but somehow, the champions emerged victorious in the match.
