NS named the real reason for Dyrachyo's replacement in Gaimin Gladiators

Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov believes that public opinion had a significant impact on Gaimin Gladiators' decision to replace Anton “Dyrachyo” Shkredov, as the average viewer saw the team's problems in him.

The streamer shared a relevant opinion from his personal Twitch broadcast.

“Public opinion will have an impact. Maybe not directly, but indirectly anyway. The fact that Antoha Dyrachyo has been playing Dota and playing a little bit in his own way, on his own wavelength all this time, he definitely has his own unique style quite in the game, for the average viewer of this game it seems like he's actually a mediocrity.

And replace Antoha with, I don't know, Miracle of Miracle fame, and then the Gladiators won't lose a single card to anyone ever again, simply because their kerry will finally stop feinting and so on. There's a widespread belief like that, in fact quite a few people broadcast it.”

Nevertheless, the content maker is confident that the reason for Gaimin Gladiators' problems was not at all due to Anton “Dyrachyo” Shkredov's play. Moreover, Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov is sure that due to the unique style of the player the team was able to win at Riyadh Masters 2024 and take second place at The International 2024, which the streamer also considers a good result.

“It's been said repeatedly that it's not about Antoha at all. And let's just say he just has that playstyle, he plays in such a way that it looks a little bit unconventional and a little bit different than what everyone is used to with standard kerrys out there like Yatoro, let's say. And Antohi's impact is a little bit different.

But he is huge, and largely due to this impact, due to this unique playstyle, Gladiators have won a lot of tournaments over the years. In particular, not so long ago, I remind you, they won the Riyadh Masters 2024, yes, although then at the International they, of course, did not do as well as they would have liked. However, second place at the International is kind of good too.”

Summarizing the results, Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov admitted that after leaving Gaimin Gladiators, the player may not continue his career, focusing on media activities. However, the streamer also believes that the player may want to repeat his success in another team.

Earlier Vladimir “Maelstorm” Kuzminov suggested that the final departure of Anton “Dyrachyo” Shkredov from Gaimin Gladiators may indicate the player's transition to a new team, and also named two squads where he may continue his career.
