Seleri declared the most challenging period in the history of Gaimin Gladiators. Video

Melchior "Seleri" Hillenkamp, the captain of Gaimin Gladiators, stated that the group stage of DreamLeague Season 22 was tough for his team, and currently, they might be facing the most challenging period in the team's history.

This acknowledgment was made during a post-match interview at the Dota 2 tournament.

"Yes, I think we're getting there. It was a tough group stage for us, but it's not the first time something like this has happened to us. Perhaps, it was the toughest group in our history. Maybe it's time for us to start winning"

However, Gaimin Gladiators are shaping up and trying to focus on their game rather than just the results, noted the esports athlete.

"We just want to make sure that we are solely focused on our game, not on the results. Otherwise, you catch yourself thinking, 'Oh, we won practically everywhere last year, got second a few times. If we don't repeat that, then we've embarrassed ourselves.' It's unnecessary stress, so we need to focus only on the game, match by match. And don't forget to enjoy it"

Seleri emphasized that the team doesn't want to fall into the trap of their past achievements, as players might lose the joy of playing Dota 2. The captain mentioned that the team has been following this strategy since BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024.

Recall that earlier, his teammate Marcus "Ace" Hoelgaard surprised fans with candid admissions about himself and other Gaimin Gladiators players.
