Renowned analyst names the main contender for kiyotaka's position in L1ga Team

The position left vacant by Gleb "Kiyotaka" Zyryanov in L1ga Team after his transfer to 9 Pandas might be filled by Maxim "re1bl" Afanasyev.

This statement was made by the well-known caster Khaled "sQreen" El-Habbash in his Telegram channel.

"It will also be interesting to see what the league comes up with; perhaps they will take Re1bl because there are almost no other experienced free players for the mid lane."

Maxim "re1bl" Afanasyev took a break in his career after departing from Darkside in May of the previous year. He has been playing in the mid lane since 2020, and in 2021, the player reached the 11,000 MMR mark.

Gleb "Kiyotaka" Zyryanov left 9 Pandas alongside Roman "RAMZES666" Kushnarev after an unsuccessful performance at ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023. RAMZES666 formed his lineup for L1ga Team, and Kiyotaka joined the new team. However, after disappointing qualifiers for BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024 and DreamLeague Season 22, Kushnarev returned to 9 Pandas.

Recall that Khaled "sQreen" El-Habbash also made fun of Kiyotaka's return to 9 Pandas, likening it to rekindling a relationship with an ex.
