“There are several options”, — former LGD Gaming offlaner on his future team

Offlaner Adrián Wisper Céspedes Dobles discussed the results of The International 2026 on the La Sopa podcast, spoke about playing with Topias Topson Taavitsainen, addressed the 322 situation, and shared his plans for the next season.

The International 2026 results

After being eliminated from the tournament, Wisper admitted that he initially did not even want to return to the arena to watch the remaining matches. The Bolivian took the result particularly hard because the tournament was held in Shanghai, where The International 2019 had previously taken place.

When we lost, I wasn't planning to go to the arena, but our analyst FCR convinced me. I was a little sad watching the tournament and realizing that we hadn't managed to make the playoffs.

Playing in front of a crowd is a unique feeling. It's a shame we couldn't make it there and simply weren't good enough.

At the championship, the team lost to Team Yandex in the match for a spot in the playoffs and finished the tournament in 9th-12th place.

Wisper also shared his thoughts on the final between Team Spirit and Team Vision. The Bolivian initially supported Vision, which had gone undefeated throughout the tournament before the deciding series, but acknowledged that Spirit deserved the victory.

Among the players on the championship-winning roster, he particularly highlighted Magomed Collapse Khalilov and Ilya Yatoro Mulyarchuk. In his opinion, the offlaner had the best tournament on the team, with the carry next in terms of performance. Denis Larl Sigitov, on the other hand, did not have his best individual tournament, although Wisper noted his contribution to the team's result.

Speaking about the matchup between Yatoro and Alan Satanic Gallyamov, Wisper highlighted Mulyarchuk's advantage in terms of experience in decisive matches. At the same time, he believes that Gallyamov is capable of winning The International in the future.

Playing with Topson and the 322 situation

Dobles also spoke about Topson joining the roster. Before the tournament, the team considered several replacement options, including Lu Somnus Yao. However, once the opportunity arose to invite the two-time The International champion, the team decided to go with the Finn.

We had the option to bring in Topson or Somnus, so it was difficult to choose. When Topson was suggested, Yuma asked him, and he said he would like to play. After that, we didn't really think about it much after all, he has won TI twice.

The offlaner also noted that Taavitsainen's reputation influenced the team's play: his teammates tried to help him more on the map and create comfortable conditions for him. Wisper himself shared a room with the Finn and spoke with him a lot about his career and previous experience.

During the podcast, the player also addressed the situation involving Santiago TaiLung Olivos and the 322 allegations, which forced the organization to urgently look for a replacement ahead of the tournament.

Wisper primarily drew attention to the timing of when the situation became public: the team had to deal with the issue immediately before the most important championship of the season. At the same time, his comments do not make it possible to draw a conclusion about TaiLung's guilt or innocence.

Wisper's future

At the end of the podcast, Dobles commented on the numerous rumors surrounding his future team. He did not name a specific organization but confirmed that he has several options.

I guess I can say that this has been the craziest year for me. The future really looks very good, but everything is complicated. There are many things that could happen, but things will get better from here.

According to the hosts after the interview, Wisper could stay with his current teammates or accept one of the offers from Europe. The player himself has yet to publicly announce where he will continue his career.

According to rumors, Team Liquid is one of the most likely options for him. This also aligns with reports about the possible departure of offlaner Marcus Ace Hoelgaard.

The offlaner is currently without a team, as the LGD Gaming players' contracts expired and the organization decided not to renew them.

The International 2026 took place from 13.08.2026 to 23.08.2026 in Shanghai, China. The tournament's prize pool was $3,350,000. You can follow the championship in detail in our coverage.
