Dota 2 streamers Roman “RAMZES666” Kushnarev, Bogdan “Iceberg” Vasilenko, and Andrey “Afoninje” Afonin shared their opinions on the top midlaners competing at PGL Wallachia Season 5. During Kushnarev`s broadcast, Afoninje specifically pointed out the unique strength of Gleb “kiyotaka” Zyryanov.
Afoninje: “Yeah, Krapiva is crushing it. He`s always played well. I even recall when he was just a random player in matchmaking, not competing anywhere professionally, he was already putting in serious effort and was a tough opponent in lane matchups.”
Iceberg: “And Gleb [kiyotaka]? Gleb performs well, but his play can be inconsistent.”
RAMZES666: “Gleb is all or nothing, that`s typical Gleb.”
Afoninje: “Gleb`s unique skill is that he can have a rough start, even feed, but still manage to play effectively later on. That`s his particular strength. Most other players would just crumble after a bad early game.”
Kiyotaka and his team, Aurora Gaming, finished in 7th-8th place at PGL Wallachia Season 5. Among the midlaners mentioned by the streamers, only Danil “gpK~” Skutin and Michal “Nisha” Jankowski are still competing in the tournament.
