Former Gaimin Gladiators manager explained what really happened within the team

Oleg "Jak2oO" Porotnikov, former manager of Gaimin Gladiators, said that there was probably a conflict between the organization and the players due to unsatisfactory results and financial conditions, which ultimately led to the refusal to go to The International 2025.

He reported this on his Telegram channel.

"Most likely, the friction between the team and the organization reached its limit due to questionable results and the need to maintain expensive conditions for the roster. The organization comes to the coach and persistently asks to take its side in order to suppress the growing discontent of the players. The coach tells the team about this, and they begin to ask questions of the organization. In response, the organization does not make concessions and takes a tough position. The players, tired of this attitude, respond in kind. Finita"

Jak2oO noted that the parties were unable to agree on the financial conditions for maintaining the roster due to poor results this season. According to him, neither side wanted to make concessions, and this resulted in a full-fledged conflict, which has already moved into the legal realm.

Earlier, Gaimin Gladiators officially commented on their refusal to participate in TI14.
