9Pandas captain named the reason for the team's defeats

Alexei "Solo" Berezin believes that the problem with 9 Pandas is that roster players are picking heroes without synergy.

The 9 Pandas captain made the comment about the team's draft picks in an exclusive video about the squad's performance at Elite League, published on the team's YouTube channel.

"Certain heroes have synergies, we pick without synergies. I don't want to play Timbersaw+ Tiny, Beastmaster+ Tiny, Mars+ Shadow Shaman. It seems like the draft is ok, maybe it is ok, but it doesn't get played. I'd like to take DK or Centaur to Rasta, for example. With Mars, I think Rubik is needed."

At the Elite League Dota 2 tournament, the team dropped out after the first round of the Swiss system, sharing the last two spots with rest farmers. The team lost all three matches of the first three rounds and then left the championship. The team completely lost its chances of advancing to the second group stage after a crushing defeat to KEV.

Earlier, Yaroslav "NS" Kuznetsov commented on the departure of 9 Pandas from the tournament, saying that the team was let down by standin Marcel "Ekki" Golovienko.
