Maelstorm confirmed that Kiyotaka has joined a new team but will not be competing on the pro scene

Vladimir "Maelstorm" Kuzminov stated that Gleb "Kiyotaka" Zyryanov has transitioned from 9 Pandas to Aurora, but he will not be competing as a mid player; instead, he will serve as a streamer. According to him, the esports athlete is currently unable to participate in the pro scene for certain reasons.

The Dota 2 commentator shared this on his Telegram channel.

"I've already written about Gleb and the reasons why he won't return as a player (for now). I won't specify these reasons here or anywhere else"

Maelstorm acknowledged that he knows the reasons why Kiyotaka cannot compete as a player at this time, but he cannot disclose them. However, he did announce that another well-known mid player will be returning to the pro scene, though he did not specify who that would be.

Recall that it was previously reported about Kiyotaka's transfer to Aurora, but fans immediately noticed an important detail.
