Professional player Anton "dyrachyo" Shkredov from Gaimin Gladiators shared his thoughts with Telecomasia.net about their match against Team Falcons in the playoffs of the Riyadh Masters 2024.
I'm glad we won. In the first game, we didn’t pick the best heroes and failed to execute our timings, after which it became impossible to kill any heroes, so we lost. However, in the next two games, we played much more actively and imposed our strategy, and it was significantly easier. I believe we can beat anyone, but we’ll see what happens.
The esports player also commented on Team Falcons’ choice of Huskar and Primal Beast during the decisive game of the match:
Regarding Huskar, we expected that pick because ATF isn’t really a Primal Beast player. We understood that they might use Huskar in the mid lane. Both he and Malr1ne have level 30 heroes, so I don’t think that affected anything.
It is worth noting that Gaimin Gladiators eliminated Team Falcons to send them to the lower bracket of the Riyadh Masters 2024. The confrontation ended with a score of 2-1 in favor of the Gaimin Gladiators.
With this victory, Anton "dyrachyo" Shkredov's team advanced to the next stage of the upper bracket of the championship.
