Dyrachyo justified his controversial remark and blamed ESL for everything

Anton "dyrachyo" Shkredov, a player from Gaimin Gladiators, unexpectedly justified his controversial remark towards Azure Ray, stating that he was asked to create such content by the ESL tournament organizers.

He posted a corresponding video on Telegram, commenting on the scandal that unfolded after the grand finals of ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023.

"Regarding my phrase, I don't understand why everyone is jumping on me, but ESL themselves asked to throw in some content that will be easygoing back and forth. Overall, I did that, so whoever hates me and thinks I got my face dirty, like you guys are idiots and all"

ESL has not officially commented on dyrachyo's behavior or his unexpected statement about content for the tournament.

To recap, Gaimin Gladiators carry called Azure Ray "s***t" before the grand finals of ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023, but eventually, his team lost the match, surrendering three maps in a row to their opponents.
