Quinn harshly criticized Yatoro, calling his actions an extreme folly. Video

Quinn Callahan, the midlaner for Gaimin Gladiators, unexpectedly criticized Ilya "Yatoro" Mulyarchuk's decision to change his nickname to Raddan, calling the move a "complete foolishness" at The International 2024.

This harsh statement was made during a joint Twitch stream with Jean "Gorgc" Stefanovski.

"What’s with the weird nickname: Rain All Day (Raddan)? It’s just stupid, like an emo, self-centered archetype of a nickname. I think CCnC is a funny nickname, but I don’t think my nickname change was successful. It wasn’t for any dramatic reasons but because I wanted to distance myself from Dota 2 and pursue something beyond it. CCnC was too associated with it, and I wanted to move on"

Quinn also criticized the meaning of Raddan, which could be interpreted as "Rain All Day – Dota All Night." He described Yatoro's nickname as self-centered, pointing out that there was no need for such a change, contrasting it with his own situation. Quinn mentioned he changed his nickname to distance himself from Dota 2 rather than just satisfying his ego.

The two-time world champion has yet to respond to Quinn’s sharp critique.

Earlier, Yatoro made headlines with a highly controversial achievement at The International 2024.
