Pure~ on TI15 Elimination: "I Played Like Trash, No Excuses"

The carry for 1w Team, Ivan "Pure~" Moskalenko, commented on the team's performance at The International 2026 in Dota 2. The esports player admitted that the team failed to deliver the expected level of play at both TI15 and the Esports World Cup 2026, and he critically assessed his own gameplay.

Pure~ noted that the end of the season was disappointing, despite more successful results at the beginning. He also refrained from making excuses for his own performance.

We played miserably at both Int and EWC

We couldn't play proper Dota towards the end of the season, despite a good start, I don't know why.

I played like trash, there are no excuses.

1w Team concluded their performance at The International 2026 after losing to BETBOOM TEAM in the lower bracket of the playoffs. The team finished in 7th-8th place in the championship.

TI15 is taking place from August 13 to 23. Teams are competing for over $3.2 million, and the prize pool continues to grow with the sales of team and caster bundles.
