Coach 9Pandas pointed out the team's issues following their failure at Riyadh Masters 2024

Coach 9Pandas, Daniil «MeTTpuM» Gilyov, commented on the team's setback in the Dota 2 qualifiers for Riyadh Masters 2024. The lineup needs to put in a lot of work before qualifying for The International 2024.

«Many things need to change and improve. Over time, we'll have to switch up our heroes. <...> It's great that we're playing in the closed qualifiers for TI13, so there won't be any bo1 matches. In Eastern Europe, the qualification for The International is slightly easier than in the West. There will also be the MENA region, so there are a lot of strong teams», — Daniil «MeTTpuM» Gilyov.

9Pandas failed to advance in the open qualifiers for Riyadh Masters 2024. The lineup lost in the quarterfinals to NextUp, who eventually made it to the closed part. This is the first event for the lineup under Gilyov's guidance. The next tournament for MeTTpuM's team will be the qualifiers for The International 2024, taking place from June 14th to 18th.

The closed qualifiers for Riyadh Masters 2024 are happening online from May 31st to June 2nd. Eight teams are competing for one slot in the tournament. Direct invites to the event from Eastern Europe were received by Team Spirit and the BetBoom Team.
