Following BetBoom Team`s decisive victory over Gaimin Gladiators in the grand final of PGL Wallachia Season 5, their carry player, Ivan “Pure~” Moskalenko, dedicated the win to his friend, Anton “dyrachyo” Shkredov.
Dyrachyo, who previously played carry for Gaimin Gladiators, was removed from their roster in late 2023. Immediately after BetBoom Team secured the 3-1 series win to become champions, Moskalenko typed the phrase “За dyrachyo” (meaning “For dyrachyo”) into the all chat, drawing significant attention.
In a post-match interview conducted on the main stage, Pure~ elaborated on the reasoning behind his brief message:
Simply for dyrachyo. Kicking him was one of the worst mistakes by both the players and the organization. Removing dyrachyo and taking Watson – what the hell?
The PGL Wallachia Season 5 tournament took place in Bucharest, Romania, from June 21st to 29th, gathering sixteen teams to compete for a $1 million prize pool. BetBoom Team`s path to lifting the trophy on the final day involved first defeating Team Liquid 2-0 in the lower bracket final before their grand final showdown against Gaimin Gladiators, which they won 3-1.
