Yatoro evaluated the replacement of Dyrachyo in Gaimin Gladiators for the first time

Ilya "Yatoro" Mulyarchuk, the former carry of Team Spirit, stated that Alimzhan "Watson" Islambekov is an adequate replacement for Anton "Dyrachyo" Shkredov in Gaimin Gladiators, considering the situation in the transfer market.

This statement was made during a stream by the two-time Dota 2 world champion on Twitch.

"I think replacing Dyrachyo with Watson is a reasonable option, given the market that was available to them at that time. So, I think it’s a perfectly normal replacement"

According to him, Watson is a decent choice for Gaimin Gladiators, but Yatoro pointed out an important nuance. He emphasized that the transfer market situation after The International 2024 was tense, and signing Watson was a normal option for the club.

However, Yatoro chose not to compare who is the better carry in the Dota 2 pro scene and whether kicking the player was justified.

Recall that Dyrachyo recently shared his true feelings about Gaimin Gladiators after being kicked from the team.
