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.
