Kiyotaka on missing TI13: "We need to get better — there's nothing more to say"

9Pandas mid-laner Gleb "kiyotaka" Zyryanov commented on their failure in the qualifiers for The International 2024 in Dota 2. He believes the team could have won against 1win if they had taken the first game.

Kiyotaka stated: "We lost the final qualifier 0-3. We could have held on. If we had won the first map, I think the series would have gone differently. But, unfortunately, we made mistakes at the end and then we fell apart. We need to get better — there's nothing more to say. Thanks to everyone for the support and the hate — it motivates us to train every day."

9Pandas lost to 1win with a score of 0-3. Zyryanov's team will miss The International 2024. This is their second consecutive failed qualification for a top tournament, having also failed to qualify for Riyadh Masters 2024 earlier.

The regional qualifiers for The International 2024 are being held online from June 9 to 23. Participants are competing for ten slots at the World Championship, which will take place from September 4 to 15 in Copenhagen. The tournament's prize pool will be announced later.
