Magomed "Collapse" Khalilov is an esports legend and a three-time champion of The International series. His first name, nickname, and surname are proudly displayed on the Dota fountain three times. Only two players in the world share this unique achievement: him and Ilya "Yatoro" Mulyarchuk (also from Team Spirit).
Collapse: "Self-confidence is the key feeling that helps me win tournaments. When I walked out in Shanghai, the arena was huge too. And everyone is chanting: Team Spirit or your nickname... It's not nervousness, you're just overflowing with confidence.
If you are confident in yourself, you can play however you want, you can do whatever you want across the map, you can crush opponents however you want. Overall, it just plays much simpler."
Inside: Tournament operator PGL will be filming a video similar to True Sight!
Losing motivation after winning TI2026 and when will Collapse return?!
"Motivation is the main problem for me, why I went on break. I didn't see enough motivation to play for another whole year. The hunger is gone.
On break until March, roughly like that. Initially, I thought about taking a year off entirely, then I thought, maybe until January... Then I realized I wouldn't have time to properly rest by January."
