Dyrachyo: "Skiter was very inconsistent at Riyadh Masters 2024. Probably, didn't find his heroes" Interview
2024-08-02 17:21:00Gaimin Gladiators Dota 2 player Anton "dyrachyo" Shkredov commented on their own run at Riyadh Masters 2024, spoke about Oliver "skiter" Lepko's performance at the event, and named his MVP. Russian broadcast recorded the interview with the carry after the championship final and released it on YouTube on August 2.
Dyrachyo's MVP of Riyadh Masters
I'd give it to myself. I'd want the MVP. I don't know how they calculate this, based on the stats or not, but I think everyone played well on our team and deserved it.
On feeling the patch and being in the zone at Riyadh Masters
I can't say we were in the zone, there was still nervousness before the matches. But I'd say after the match against Falcons, we felt that things were going somewhat easy. Especially since we lost the first game but then won the following quite easily. Maybe after that series, we felt it.
On Skiter's performance
Skiter sometimes played well and other times poorly. He performed very inconsistently at the tournament. Probably, did not find his heroes. He kept picking Gyrocopter, and there was not much impact. This was perhaps the Falcons' mistake.
Riyadh Masters 2024 ran from July 4 to 21, with $5 mln in prize pool. Gaimin Gladiators faced Falcons in the upper bracket semifinal and defeated them 2:1. After that, they faced Team Liquid twice and never lost a game, defeating them in the grand final with a 3:0 score.
