No[o]ne gave a candid assessment of his level of preparation for the Riyadh Masters 2025

Vladimir “No[o]ne” Minenko rated his level of preparation for the Riyadh Masters 2025 Dota 2 tournament at 8.5 on a ten-point scale, noting that he clearly did not reach the maximum mark.

The player made this statement on Twitch.

“How do I rate my playing form? Well, 8, I guess. At the Riyadh Masters, I would probably rate it 8.5. It was clearly not a 10.”

The esports player also added that he was happy with his result at the tournament, as he was able to show a fairly high level of preparation despite the difficulties he faced before the event. However, Vladimir “No[o]ne” Minenko did not specify what problems he had before the Riyadh Masters 2025, but noted that he was not satisfied with his results in matchmaking.

“But... With the personal difficulties I faced before the Riyadh Masters, I am incredibly proud and happy that I was able to perform well and be in good shape. The problem is that my ranking has completely collapsed.”

As a reminder, Vladimir “No[o]ne” Minenko previously named the top three heroes for easy victories in Dota 2 matchmaking.
