Kiyotaka shared his emotions after being eliminated from TI14, naming the reasons for Aurora's failure

Gleb “Kiyotaka” Zyryanov admitted that he felt extremely devastated after Aurora's elimination from The International 2025 Dota 2 tournament, as he really wanted to play in the playoffs at the arena.

The player made this statement on YouTube.

“I really wanted to play in the arena. This is my second time at The International, and for the second time I haven't made it to the arena. I'm just very sad and disappointed about it. What did I do? I just thought about life, about the meaning of existence. Because I feel empty inside, and you don't know anything... you can't believe what's happening.”

According to Gleb “Kiyotaka” Zyryanov, Aurora players experienced severe stress during the group stage matches, which led to tense negotiations during team fights. The esports player admitted that he, like his teammates, was under intense emotional pressure at the tournament.

“There was a lot of stress in the team, especially during matches and team fights, a lot of voicemail. You could feel the pressure.”

Earlier, Khaled “Sqreen” El-Khabbash said that Aurora was already looking for a replacement for Gleb “Kiyotaka” Zyryanov after their elimination from The International 2025.
