Renowned CS veteran Mikhail "Dosia" Stolyarov recently made an appearance on Duncan "Thorin" Shields's esteemed Reflections series on YouTube. During the interview, Dosia provided interesting insights into the talents of young Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev and reflected on Gambit's remarkable victory at the prestigious PGL Major Krakow 2017.
Thorin also discussed a significant moment during the tournament, where it was revealed that another individual was responsible for a critical decision. One of the standout moments was Zeus's impassioned speech in the semifinal showdown against Astralis. Despite Gambit initially leading, the Danish team, known for their formidable CT side on Train, started closing the gap. With the score at 13-12, Zeus took charge during an eco round, delivering a motivational monologue that extended into the subsequent pause.
Following his inspiring speech, Zeus secured two crucial opening kills in the subsequent rounds, ultimately enabling Gambit to secure victory on the map with a score of 16:12. The triumph continued in the grand final, where Gambit triumphed over Immortals with a decisive 2:1 scoreline. However, shortly after the Major concluded, Zeus and coach Kane parted ways with the team due to internal disagreements.
