Dyrachyo admitted that he overheard the opponents’ strategy and brought victory to Gaimin Gladiators

Anton “Dyrachyo” Shkredov revealed that while playing for Gaimin Gladiators, he accidentally overheard a conversation from BetBoom Team where they disclosed their drafting plan, which helped his team secure an easy victory.

He shared this during the Riyadh Masters 2025 Twitch broadcast.

“We were playing against BetBoom Team — Gaimin Gladiators. The score was 1:1. We lost the first map, won the second, and in the third map… Here’s a tip for teams — never talk openly away from your computers. Imagine, the map just ended, both teams step away, and they start talking. Tilted, they said: ‘We should have banned this, and I would’ve passed here.’ TORONTOTOKYO or the BetBoom guys said: ‘We absolutely have to ban Medusa in the second phase.’

I went back to my teammates and said: ‘They will ban Medusa in the second phase.’ We picked Undying first, and then took Medusa ninth. That’s exactly what we did. I wasn’t shy about it — I don’t care. If people can’t talk quietly or get emotional, that’s on them”

He explained that during the tournament, with the score tied 1:1, there was a break before the decisive map. Passing by BetBoom Team, he overheard players loudly discussing their ban plans and didn’t hesitate to use this information in the game.

In the end, he shared everything with Gaimin Gladiators, and they outdrafted their opponents, securing the win. Dyrachyo emphasized that he isn’t ashamed of his actions, believing players should know what can be said out loud and what should remain private — and that this will be a lesson for them.

As a reminder, earlier a NAVI player set a historic record on the Dota 2 pro scene at Riyadh Masters 2025.
