9Pandas excluded Gleb "kiyotaka" Zyryanov from their Dota 2 roster. The club announced this on social media.
Zyryanov was transferred. His replacement is unknown. The organization thanked the player for his contribution to the brand, noting that the decision was mutual.
"Gleb 'kiyotaka' Zyryanov has been benched and transferred. Kiyotaka has been with 9Pandas since its inception. Together, we qualified for many tournaments, including The International 2023. This season has been incredibly tough, and this difficult decision was made by mutual agreement. Gleb, thank you for your game! We wish you success in your esports career," the 9Pandas organization expressed.
Zyryanov played for 9Pandas since April 2023. In January 2024, he temporarily joined the L1GA Team, but quickly returned. His main achievements with 9Pandas include third place at ESL One Berlin Dota Major 2023 and 9-12th place at The International 2023.
In 2024, 9Pandas barely competed in tournaments. The team only qualified for FISSURE & ESB Elite League 2024 Season 1, finishing last. They also reached the final qualifier for The International 2024 but failed. Before that, the team didn't secure a slot for Riyadh Masters 2024.
Current 9Pandas Roster:
- Mikhail "DarkLord" Blinov;
