Gpk~ on BetBoom Team draft against BOOM: "I came to the practice room, and they said: 'We are playing with Invoker and Bane'"
2024-04-11 10:46:00BetBoom Team midlaner Danil "gpk~" Skutin revealed that the roster did not practice before the Dota 2 Elite League 2024. He also explained why they had such a weird draft in their last match against BOOM Esports. The midlaner spoke about this on Russian-speaking broadcast.
Will I pick Shadow Fiend? I don't think so. The hero is absolutely dead currently. Whose idea was to choose position 5 Invoker and mid Bane? We joked yesterday that we'd play with such a draft if we didn't make it from the group. I guess it was TORONTOTOKYO who suggested this. I came to the practice room, and they said: "We're playing with Invoker and Bane."
Now we will play more pubs and scrims. Get in shape. We will try to show our maximum. We didn't scrim before this tournament. I think you could notice that.
The match didn't matter for both teams, not even in terms of prize money. Gpk~ had quite a performance on mid Bane, killing 11 opponents, and dying only once. BetBoom closed that game in 33 minutes.
BetBoom Team failed to advance from the group to the playoffs of Elite League. Their next event is ESL One Birmingham 2024, which starts on April 22.
