Two-time TI winner, Mira, parts ways with Team Spirit

Team Spirit has become one of the most prominent names in Dota 2, especially after their two wins at The International (TI) in 2021 and 2023. However, with an extremely poor TI in 2024, both Myroslav "Mira" Kolpakov and Illya "Yatoro" Mulyarchuk decided to take a step back from professional play. While Yatoro, or Raddan returned to the active roster early in 2025, Mira remained on the sidelines.

On Feb. 26, Team Spirit announced via their X account that the player would be leaving the team permanently.

Having started his professional career in 2019, Mira found himself playing mainly in small tournaments with Cascade. From there, his rise to stardom began and he shot to the top in no time. Having joined Team Spirit in March 2021, the team quickly began to show promise. By the time they reached TI, the stage was set, and it was Team Spirit who denied PSG.LGD the Aegis of Immortals yet again.

Although TI 2022 did not go their way, the year remained fairly successful for Mira. With a second-place finish at the Riyadh Masters and a victory at PGL Arlington Major, Team Spirit looked ahead to 2023. As they took multiple victories closer to TI, it was, once again, theirs to lose – and they did not.

With two TI titles in hand, Mira remained with Team Spirit through 2024, with fairly poor results throughout the year. Once TI had concluded, it was confirmed that he would be taking a break. Now, five months later, the player has decided to part ways with Team Spirit.

Mira leaves behind his TI-winning teammates, who are still searching for form and a massive legacy. In the departure video posted by Team Spirit, his teammates and the team itself thank him for his time and all the amazing Dota 2 he has played alongside them.

No news of where Mira will be going is available currently, but we are sure to see the position 4 support player pop up again in no time.
