Dyrachyo Shares Thoughts on Gaimin Gladiator’s Entry Into Elite League Playoffs
After making it to the playoffs of the ongoing Elite League, dyrachyo, the carry for Gaimin Gladiators, shared his thoughts regarding their qualification.
“I'm glad we made the playoffs, not without problems, but overall we made it, and that's good. It will be a good practice before the lan-tournament (ESL One Birmingham 2024). The tournament itself is good, a lot of good teams,” said dyrachyo.
In his comments, Dyrachyo also acknowledged some minor drawbacks, such as playing on a slightly older patch and the pace of matches being limited to one per day. However, he maintained an optimistic outlook, describing the overall experience as manageable and affirming the team's adaptability.
With an optimistic outlook on Gaimin’s performance, dyrachyo and the team would be looking to restore its 2023 glory and once again climb on top of the leaderboards.
The road ahead, to the championship, is not going to be easy, with other prominent teams like Team Falcons, Team Liquid, and Xtreme Gaming having also secured their spots in the playoffs.
Gaimin Gladiator will be facing G2xiG as its first challenger in the Lower Bracket Round 1, making it risky as a loss can result in instant elimination. They will undoubtedly be at their best game and look towards to beating the Chinese powerhouse.
