Kiyotaka made a bold statement following Aurora's triumph

Gleb “kiyotaka” Zyryanov, Aurora midranger, after winning the qualifications for The International 2025, said that the team had prepared thoroughly and the players didn't care what to draft - they were confident in winning.

The cyber athlete said in a post-match interview:

“Did I get high? I don't know, to be honest. I told the guys: “Pick whatever you want. I don't care. We were confident of victory. We were preparing for our opponents, watching their draft picks and qualifying games. Studied what they do, what patterns they have. We took qualifying pretty seriously - we got together at the bootcamp, prepared together”

According to the pro player, Aurora took qualifying for the Dota 2 World Championship as seriously as possible, and the roster had no doubts about their own success. Kiyotaka also noted that he really didn't care which heroes to play - he was sure that the opponents would lose anyway.

As a result, Aurora defeated Cyber Goose and won a slot at TI14. In the Dota 2 community, many were surprised why Gaimin Gladiators received a direct invite and not Aurora.

Recall, earlier Korb3n said that he almost fought with TORONTOTOKYO, explaining the reasons for the conflict.
