Anton 'dyrachyo' Shkredov after his team's victory over Team Falcons at the Riyadh Masters 2024 tournament stated that the Venomancer to Mid strategy that the team used on the first map was a strategy he picked up from the lower ranked players' community.

The Gaimin Gladiators carry made the statement in a post-match interview during the tournament broadcast on Alexander "Nix" Levin's Twitch channel.

"I actually saw it in the pub of two Five Hundreds. They piked Pudge and Venik, they just.... Pudge had a level higher than me on the kerry from the free line. I was shocked and I said: "Guys, play." They had already said, "Well we did, we saw something". I think I pushed them more, because five hundred guys won't lie."

The cyber athlete also said that the team could have finished the second map faster if not for his mistakes.

"Anyway, everyone was tired and, I don't know, the line was really freesh. Overall... Anyway, if I hadn't made mistakes, the game would have been a lot easier, but I made a lot of mistakes. If I had played like I did in the first one, we would have won them a lot easier.

There were a lot of things going on, a lot of calls, very intense play. So my focus was off and I was constantly thinking in my head, like, "What do I do?" And bang, they jump, and it's chaos, and it's boiling. Anyway, I was just making a lot of mistakes and that's it."

The match ended with Gaimin Gladiators winning 2 : 0. After five matches played, the team has two wins, two draws and one loss to Heroic.
