Illidan harshly criticized gpk and gave a pessimistic forecast for his career

Ilya "Illidan" Pivtsev stated that BetBoom Team's midlaner Danila "gpk" Skutin lacks the personal qualities required for a tier-1 esports player, which will hinder his career development despite his decent skill level.

Such a statement was made by the Team Spirit streamer during a live broadcast on his personal Twitch channel.

"I don't like how he plays. He's just as much of a choker as... He played decently at TI, but I don't like it. He's a strong laner, yes, no doubt. But I think his personal qualities will never allow him to become a real tier-1 player, no matter what anyone says."

gpk's team at BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024 slightly improved their position after a rough start due to a defeat against Xtreme Gaming. The next day, the team won a match against OG, after which they drew with Team Spirit and Nouns. In the match against Azure Ray, the current roster of BetBoom Team suffered a defeat, but at the moment, the team holds the fourth position in the group's ranking table, which most likely ensures their advancement to the playoffs based on the group stage results. For BetBoom Team to be eliminated from the BB Dacha 2024 championship, OG must defeat Team Spirit. In that case, the team will tie in terms of won maps with BetBoom Team, and the playoff slot will be determined in an additional match.

It's worth mentioning that earlier, Team Spirit's captain Yaroslav "Miposhka" Naydenov revealed the name of a Dota 2 pro player who motivated him to start his own career.
