Professional Dota 2 player Rostislav `fn` Lozovoy has commented on Aurora Gaming`s midlaner Gleb `kiyotaka` Zyryanov, suggesting that kiyotaka`s inconsistent performance stems from his mindset during matches.
Kiyotaka is just an arcade player. He doesn`t want to change his mindset, I don`t know what`s wrong with him. I`ve tried talking to him extensively, but I can`t seem to influence him at all. He just continues to stick to his approach. So, I don`t think there`s any helping him. I`ve tried multiple times, and it always ended the same way.
This discussion follows Aurora Gaming`s 5th-6th place finish at BLAST Slam III, where they were defeated 0:2 by Gaimin Gladiators in the third round of the playoffs. After that match, the captain of Gaimin Gladiators, Arman `Malady` Orazbayev, also offered criticism of kiyotaka. Orazbayev stated that Zyryanov was partly responsible for Aurora`s loss, believing he had the potential to carry his team but frequently died when out of position and separated from his teammates.
