Collapse was promised to be fined by Korb3n for pumping iron too hard
2025-04-18 14:54:00Team Spirit offlaner Magomed "Collapse" Khalilov revealed he was forbidden to go to the gym during Dota 2 tournaments. The team manager, Dmitry "Korb3n" Belov, spotted the extensive workouts and threatened to fine him. The player explained this in the team vlog.
For me, the gym is banned during all tournaments. <...> I remember we played on FISSURE Playground against Heroic, I was playing Mars and something else. We were destroyed 0:2. After the series, Korb3n approached me and said: "You're not going anywhere [to the gym] now." I was shocked, "Dimas, what's wrong?" He said, "I remember your training yesterday. I worked out for an hour, and you spent two hours on your forearms." I was like, "It will be fine, it's just a regular light workout," and he said, "If you go to the gym again, I'll fine you."
Collapse took a break from performing on the pro scene after The International 2024. During the break, he started actively training in the gym. The offlaner returned to the active lineup at the beginning of 2025. The mentioned FISSURE Playground took place in February.
Team Spirit took second place at ESL One Raleigh 2025. They lost to Parivision in the final with a score of 1:3. The next tournament for the team will be PGL Wallachia Season 4. It will be held from April 19 to 27 in Romania. The prize pool will be one million dollars.
