Gaimin Gladiators were scared: Quinn's backstage words at ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 have been revealed

Gaimin Gladiators were shocked by the comeback from Azure Ray in the grand finals of ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023, and on the second map, they were scared by the performance of the Chinese team.

These revelations come from the words of Quinn "Quinn" Callahan, the midlaner of Gaimin Gladiators, behind the scenes of the tournament, published in a new team vlog on YouTube.

"We have to keep playing without fear, as I think, yeah, just, just, just be crushers, exploit weaknesses, seize opportunities. Don't be scared, don't react, don't be like 'Oh, they can do this and all.' I like, we cut, and we be proactive because I think there was a little bit, a little bit of that in this game. A little, there was a little..."

Based on the player's words, he was trying to reassure the other team members who were clearly demoralized. Considering how often Quinn repeated himself and tried to find the right words, it was also a shock for him to witness such an unexpected turn in the match.

Recall that Azure Ray sensationally won ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023, defeating Gaimin Gladiators three maps in a row. This marked the first victory for a Chinese team in a major Dota 2 tournament.
