RAMZES666 made a candid admission about 9Pandas terrible performance at The International 2023

In the four games of the TI12 playoffs, 9Pandas failed to find their stride and showcase the required level of Dota 2 expertise.

Such a statement was made by Roman "RAMZES666" Kushnarev, the carry of 9Pandas, after the match against Gaimin Gladiators. The corresponding video was published on the KD ALL IN YouTube channel.

"Damn, I don't know what to do. We can't even win 4v2. What drafts are we even talking about? Two heroes are attacking us in mid, two heroes are attacking us in the bot lane—we can't react anywhere in the end. The problem is obviously something else. The problem isn't in the mid lane, Gleb [kiyotaka], absolutely. Well, he lost, everyone makes mistakes, but we didn't do anything decent in four playoff games, absolutely. Zero moves."

However, RAMZES666 believes that this season was decent and the team genuinely tried to win.
