Nix clearly demonstrated why Gaimin Gladiators chose Watson instead of Dyrachyo

Alexander "Nix" Levin stated that Gaimin Gladiators chose Alimzhan "Watson" Islambekov because of his high MMR and top position in the European Dota 2 ladder.

The streamer and former esports player shared this during a Twitch broadcast.

Nix showcased the current state of the Dota 2 ladder, where Watson occupies the second spot. The streamer emphasized that Gaimin Gladiators rated Watson higher than Anton "Dyrachyo" Shkredov solely based on his MMR ranking. According to Nix, this was the reason GG selected Watson as the new carry for the roster.

Gaimin Gladiators have not yet commented on the reasons for the replacement, but judging by Dyrachyo's statements, his departure from the roster was not his initiative. However, the replacement has sparked considerable criticism towards the team, with many believing that this change will negatively impact their future results.
