I walked over to shake his hand, but Diman didn’t stand up. I didn’t press the issue, since we have personal differences, and I realized he wasn’t going to shake my hand. This has nothing to do with the game or the team. I respect Team Yandex; it was a worthy match
Earlier, PARIVISION carry Alan “Satanic” Gallyamov commented on the victory over Team Yandex in the semifinals of the Esports World Cup 2026, acknowledging his own mistakes on the second map. He also stated that he does not consider Lone Druid to be an overly strong hero and noted that the team knows how to play against him.
