Korb3n spoke about internal issues within Gaimin Gladiators

Dmitry "Korb3n" Belov, the manager of Team Spirit, believes that Anton "Dyrachyo" Shkredov might have been replaced by Alimzhan "Watson" Islambekov due to internal issues within Gaimin Gladiators.

He shared this opinion on his Telegram channel:

"The strangest replacement. Either GG knows something about upcoming patches, or there were some internal issues. Everyone has been talking about the fact that the playstyles of these two carries are completely different. So either there will be a patch soon that once again makes carry the role that can win the game solo, in which case Watson is a perfect fit, or there will be a period of retraining the team or Watson himself"

Korb3n suggests that this unexpected swap could be due to internal conflicts but does not rule out the possibility that GG has insights about future Dota 2 patches. However, he believes that the replacement might still weaken the team's performance, considering Dyrachyo a more effective player.

"Remembering what I thought when GG picked up Quinn for the mid lane and how it turned out, I won’t make predictions. I think it will be worse, but maybe GG are geniuses. I’m most excited to see this team's games"

Additionally, Korb3n speculates that the team might be planning to change their playstyle or adapt Watson to their parameters.

It's worth noting that the Team Spirit manager previously made headlines after a scandal at the PGL Wallachia Season 2 tournament.
