Maelstorm reflects on Gaimin Gladiators' prospects after withdrawing from The International 2025

Vladimir “Maelstorm” Kuzminov believes that Gaimin Gladiators' withdrawal from The International 2025 will hit the players hard, but it will not be the end of their careers. However, the organization itself will no longer be able to return to professional Dota 2 with a decent roster.

The commentator shared his opinion on Telegram.

“I think it's a blow for the players, but not a fatal one, while GG has signed its own death warrant. I don't think we'll see them in Dota with a normal roster anymore.”

The caster believes that the responsibility for Gaimin Gladiators' problems lies with the organization's management. According to Vladimir “Maelstorm” Kuzminov, the organization showed indifference to what was happening between the team's players, which led to serious problems. The caster was also surprised by the fact that the club's management took a neutral position when deciding to exclude Anton “Dyrachyo” Shkredov.

“It's funny, of course, that we all initially thought that GG was on the side of some players when they kicked Dyrachyo. It turned out that the organization was not on anyone's side. They did everything very, very badly. Whatever the case may be, the organization is always to blame because the organization is the head. It's like we are to blame for what our hands do.”

We would like to remind you that earlier there was information about threats of legal action against the players by Gaimin Gladiators.
