Gaimin Gladiators' carry, Anton "dyrachyo" Shkredov, commented on their victory over Team Spirit at the PGL Wallachia Season 1 in Dota 2. He believes that developers need to simplify the process of breaking into the high ground.
"The game is set up in a way that it's nearly impossible to break into the high ground. You sit and ponder how to ascend, and it's very difficult. We don't utilize this aspect well because we rarely make comebacks, but it still happens. However, Spirit and Team Falcons—do it constantly. They simply won't be pushed because it's not advantageous to enter their base, and they farm. Something needs to change." - Anton "dyrachyo" Shkredov
Dyrachyo also commented on Spirit's pick in the first game. According to him, the team had a good plan, but it was very challenging to execute it correctly.
"I feel like it's very difficult to execute Slark, especially against Doom. It's such a matchup that if you make a mistake—Doom targets you. And after that, you'll most likely die. The idea is clear: to buy Linken's Sphere, and overall, Lifestealer is a good matchup against him. But it's very difficult to execute. Yatoro tried, but he made one mistake, and essentially, we won the game when we caught him with Fiend's Grip. Slark is a weak hero, easy to punish." - Anton "dyrachyo" Shkredov
Gaimin Gladiators had a successful start at PGL Wallachia. The team defeated Spirit and Team Secret. Their next opponent will be Team Falcons. The match is scheduled for May 12 at 19:00 MSK.
