Gaimin Gladiators’ Decision to Part Ways with BOOM Leads to Team Secret Signing
Gaimin Gladiators recently announced the departure of Miroslav “BOOM” Bičan on Oct. 29, only to have him signed by Team Secret a month later. While many speculated that BOOM was enticed by Team Secret’s allure, Gaimin Gladiators player Anton “DyrachYO” Shkredov confirmed that BOOM was actually kicked due to undisclosed internal issues.
BOOM’s Departure from Gaimin Gladiators
“BOOM is a good player, but we had our issues with him at the bootcamp,” said DyrachYO in an interview with Cybersport.ru on Dec. 20. He declined to provide specific details about the problems that arose, stating that it would be inappropriate. DyrachYO believes that the decision to part ways with BOOM will serve as a wake-up call and potentially boost his career. Either BOOM will strive to win and defeat everyone, or he will become a mere copy of Nisha with poor results.
The Outcome for BOOM and Team Secret
DyrachYO suggests that BOOM’s success depends on his motivation, implying that it may have been lacking during his time with Gaimin Gladiators. Regardless, DyrachYO wishes BOOM all the best in his future endeavors.
BOOM has been brought on to fill the midlane role previously held by Michał “Nisha” Jankowski, who left Team Secret to replace retired legend Lasse “MATUMBAMAN” Urpalainen in a highly talented Team Liquid lineup. This roster change is considered one of the biggest moves during the rostermania season.
The biggest beneficiary of this move is BOOM, who went from being teamless to joining one of the top organizations in the industry, according to DyrachYO’s comments.
As the Dota Pro Circuit 2023 commences in January, both BOOM and Team Secret have a lot to prove. Time will tell whether their partnership pays off.
