The champion of The International (Ti) twice, Team Spirit, announced on February 27 that the player supported POS 4 long -time Miroslaw "Mira" Kolpakov officially broke up after more than four years of playing under their shirt.

Team Spirit did not give a specific reason for the departure of Mira in the notice, but in fact he was on the non -working list of the team since September last year to take a break from professional competition. Since then, Spirit has used Alexandr "Rue" Filin in the position to support POS 4.

Along with the farewell notice, Team Spirit also released a video of gratitude, where the team members and the coaching staff would like to thank Mira for his contributions during the past time.


Captain Yaroslav "MiPoshka" Naimidov emphasized that Mira played an important role in the team's success, affirming: "Without Mira, we would not be able to become what we had today."


“Mira never gave up, no matter how great the pressure was. He always tries to improve himself, improving the gameplay as well as his role in the team. We have achieved a lot of success with him. I can say that if there was another player, we probably couldn't become ourselves, ”Miposhka said.


Spirit's Carry, Illya "Raddan" Mulyarchuk, also expressed that he appreciated the memories that had the same Mira, when both experienced many victories and defeat, gradually became one of the greatest squads in Dota 2 history.


"We had a lot of beautiful memories together, from victory to defeat. Without failure, there was no victory. During that time, we had grown up under Team Spirit. We learned a lot, gradually becoming true professional players," Raddan said.


Offlaner Magomed "Collapse" Khalilov and coach Airat "Silent" Gaziev also noted that Mira's resilient spirit is an important factor in the success of the team.


"He never gave up, always fighting to the end. No matter how difficult the match, Mira still tried to win," Collapse commented.


Silent also mentioned a memorable moment in the documentary Ti 2021 True Sight, when Spirit confronted PSG.LGD in the final. "There was a match against LGD, then perhaps [Collapse] said, 'We are gg, the chance is out,' but Mira said, 'No, just continue, just try something'," Silent said.


Mira left Spirit after more than four years of attachment, and two championships


Mira started a professional Dota 2 career in 2019 with Cascade, before joining the Spirit team in February 2021 to play with Raddan (at that time also known as Yatoro), Alexander "Torontotokyo" Khertek, Collapse, Miposhka and Silent. At TI 2021, after passing the qualifying round of the Eastern Europe, Spirit created a wonderful journey, defeating PSG.LGD in the dramatic final of the game to win Aegis, this moment was recorded in True Sight Ti 2021.


In 2022, Spirit was in a fall-in-day form at Riyadh Masters 2022, Champion of PGL Arlington Major 2022 but was eliminated early at TI 2022, stopped at 13-16 after defeat against Boom Esports in the first round of the loser.


Entering 2023, Spirit started slowly but reached the peak of the right time with three consecutive championships at Riyadh Masters 2023, Dreamleague season 21 and Ti 2023. They almost completely dominated at TI 2023, losing only two games in the whole tournament and defeated GaMin Gladiators 3-0 in the final. This achievement makes Team Spirit the second organization in history to win two Ti championships, after OG.


In 2024, Spirit's performance continued to waver when they won PGL Wallachia season 1 and 1win Series Dota 2 Summer, but only ranked 9-12 at Ti 2024 after being type Xtreme Gaming in the second round of loss.


After defeat at Ti 2024, Mira and Raddan were transferred to the inactive list to rest. While Raddan has returned to the competition, Mira has officially left Team Spirit after more than four years of attachment.


Mira has not yet returned to the professional arena, but his leave for Spirit shows that he might be preparing to join a new team. Although there is no official announcement, with talented players like Torontotokyo and Egor "Nightfall" Grigorenko are also free players, most likely Mira will continue to play in Eastern Europe, maybe in a new squad to stir the competition in the region.
