Ace caught in unpleasant act after Team Spirit's victory at Riyadh Masters 2025

Marcus “Ace” Helgard, offlayer of Gaimin Gladiators, refused to shake hands with Team Spirit players after his team's elimination from the Riyadh Masters 2025.

The moment was caught on the tournament's official broadcast on Twitch.

The footage shows Team Spirit players approaching their opponents to shake hands with them as a sign of respect. However, while all members of Gaimin Gladiators accepted the gesture, Ace remained seated in his seat and did not extend his hand.

Many onlookers noted that the cyber athlete looked depressed and was in a complete tilt, which is probably why he did not participate in the post-match handshake. Others believe that he was angry about the unexpected defeat - especially considering that Gaimin Gladiators dominated the first map and had every chance to win.

To recap, Dyrachyo earlier stunned the community with his statement about Quinn standing up for his former teammate.
