Panto Reacts to Technical Defeat in DreamLeague Qualifier Match

Nikita “Panto” Balaganin, a player for Aurora Gaming`s Dota 2 team, has responded with irony to the technical defeat in their match against 1win Team in the DreamLeague Season 26 qualifiers. He shared a message about the match outcome on Telegram.

Aurora Gaming and 1win Team clashed in the upper bracket semi-final of the Eastern European closed qualifier for DreamLeague Season 26. Aurora Gaming was given a technical defeat on the first map of the series because their mid-player, Gleb “kiyotaka” Zyryanov, was late to join the lobby for the game. Despite this setback, Aurora Gaming won the following two games and advanced to the upper bracket final.

The closed Eastern European qualifiers for DreamLeague Season 26 are being held online from April 1st to 3rd. Eight teams are competing for a single slot in the main stage of the tournament.
