dyrachyo Was Reportedly Considered a Potential Replacement for Nightfall

Recently, Nemiga Gaming’s Kirill "Hellscream" Lagutik joined Dota 2 caster Oleksii "STORM" Tumanov stream and disclosed that BetBoom Team contemplated the possibility of replacing Egor "Nightfall" Grigorenko with Anton "dyrachyo" Shkredov. Hellscream's remarks shed light on the speculation surrounding the team's roster adjustments, suggesting a potential shakeup in BetBoom's roster during the post TI (The International) roster shuffles.

dyrachyo Was to Replace Nightfall on BetBoom Team

Speaking on the matter, Hellscream remarked, “It's possible if Gaimin Gladiators, for example, undergo reshuffles, theoretically it's possible. But no, I would rather believe, hypothetically, either in a combination of gpk plus dyrachyo, or Pure again on the 'trio' with dyrachyo in the team, that's something I could believe in. In general, theoretically, it could have happened like that. I heard some info that dyrachyo could have joined BetBoom Team this season already. There were discussions about replacing Nightfall. Again, I don't know if it's true or not true. But something like that was told to me.”

The revelation comes in the wake of BetBoom Team's recent performance in the DreamLeague Season 22 tournament, where it secured second place after a grueling battle against Team Falcons in the grand final.

Notably, after securing a top-three finish at the DreamLeague Season 22, BetBoom Team became the first team to claim a spot for Riyadh Masters at the Esports World Cup 2024.

According to Hellscream’s statement, BetBoom Team was considering dyrachyo as a potential replacement for Nightfall before the start of 2024 competitive season. However, this move could have been highly unlikely as Gaimin Gladiators was one of the most successful teams of 2023 and the GG roster had expressed intentions of sticking together in the post-TI roster shuffle.

In contrast, Gaimin Gladiators faced disappointment as it failed to advance to the DreamLeague Season 22 playoffs, bowing out after the second stage with a respectable fifth place standing on the overall standings. dyrachyo’s performance throughout 2023 and in the recent tournaments showcased his individual prowess and may have increased his appeal as a potential transfer target for BetBoom Team.

However, readers should note that these are just mere speculations and should be taken with a pinch of salt.
