Kiyotaka revealed the reasons behind 9Pandas smashing victory over Virtus.pro

Gleb "Kiyotaka" Zyryanov stated that the main reason for 9 Pandas' victory over Virtus.pro in closed qualification for The International 2024 is thorough preparation and detailed analysis of their opponents' previous games.

The corresponding comment was made by 9 Pandas' mid made in a post-match interview during the official Twitch broadcast of the regional qualifiers.

The match ended with 9 Pandas winning 2 : 0. Next up for the squad is the second match of the top set against Yellow Submarine. Virtus.pro continue their fight for a slot at TI13 through the lower grid, where the team will face L1ga Team after defeating One Move.
