Gaimin Gladiators captain gives the real reason for replacing Dyrachyo

Melchior “Seleri” Hillenkamp, captain of Gaimin Gladiators, said that three defeats in grand finals of major championships last season is not the result the team was hoping for despite winning the Riyadh Masters 2024 tournament.

The player shared his respective opinion on his personal X page.

“New lane partner, new teammate, new season! Very excited to show what we can do with this roster. I saw quite some doubt from many sides, it's true that we finished last season well, but getting 1st place once and 2nd place 3 times is not what we are looking for.”

Continuing with his statement, the Gaimin Gladiators captain said that this result has led the squad players to think that the team needs a change, which is the reason why the substitution was made.Melchior “Seleri” Hillenkamp believes that Alimzhan “Watson” Islambekov will be able to show his positive side.Nevertheless, the cybersportsman is sure that the new player will be criticized by fans, as it was with Anton “Dyrachyo” Shkredov until his departure.

“We felt that change is needed, and we made a change that we feel will help us move forward. Everything will take time and effort, and we will work hard to show what we can do. I'm happy Watson wants to show what he's actually worth together with us!

I'm sure he will get criticized and compared quite a bit, but that's just how it seems to go when you are on our team, Dyrachyo got flack for as long as he was in the roster.”

Summing up, the captain of the squad asked fans to believe in the team's decision, calling it as well considered as possible, and also promised to do his best to prove it to the fans.

Recall that earlier Anton “Dyrachyo” Shkredov expressed his attitude to Alimzhan “Watson” Islambekov after the substitution.
