Cr1t- of Team Falcons has hinted at retiring from professional play after his team’s elimination from The International 2026. The veteran player, who has been with Team Falcons since its founding, suggested that this year’s tournament might be his last.

Team Falcons suffered defeats to Nigma Galaxy in the upper bracket and Team Liquid in the lower bracket, finishing in 7th-8th place. The current roster, which won The International 2025, has been together for over two years without changes. However, Cr1t- indicated that roster changes might follow this year’s tournament.

Cr1t- has had a storied career, playing for over 15 different teams in 14 years. He has earned $3.8 million in prize money and won 15 Tier-1 tournaments. The International 2026 is taking place from August 13 to 23 in Shanghai, China, with a prize pool of $3.2 million.

“Most likely, this is my last TI, I will miss it,” Cr1t- said.
