Dread stated that 9Pandas needs to kick kiyotaka

Andrey "Dread" Golubev thinks that 9 Pandas should have fired their midlaner Gleb "kiyotaka" Zyrjanov long time ago because he is emotionally unbalanced and this has a negative effect on the team’s performance.

This opinion was shared by him during the Twitch stream.

“How can you play with such an emotionally unstable player? You cannot. They should’ve kicked him out earlier. But how do you do that in Solo's position? It’s already been a few players lost. Among them, the only one left good enough is kiyotaka. Now his rating is 150 but he used to be great. Yes, there are some problems with it. Anything is better than nothing so keep playing with him hoping for some improvement”

According to Dread, the team believed kiyotaka would work on his issues; yet, that did not come true. In addition to this, Alexey “Solo” Berezin must have kept kiyotaka at any cost because of many other good players already gone from the squad.

Recall that earlier, Kiyotaka gave some candid remarks about 9 Pandas when they lost TI 2024 qualifier games.
