Azure Ray unveiled the secret behind their stunning victory over Gaimin Gladiators

On the day of the grand final of ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023, Azure Ray managed to experiment with 15 different characters against Team Liquid. This allowed them to formulate an effective strategy and crush Gaimin Gladiators.

Jiang "Destiny" An, representing Azure Ray, made this acknowledgment in an interview with Gosugamers.

"I think not only the experiments but also having time for testing played a significant role. On the final day, we went through a full series and played three games against Team Liquid from Sweden, so we had a total of eight games.

During the series against Team Liquid, we tried out many different heroes. I believe we experimented with 15 different characters against Team Liquid, giving us the opportunity to test some of our ideas and theories and improve our coordination"

This makes sense as the Chinese team lost the first two maps to their opponents, giving them time to adapt and find the keys to victory against Gaimin Gladiators. In the end, Azure Ray won three consecutive maps and became the champions of ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023.
