Nikita "Pantomem" Balaganin assessed that the current preparation of Aurora Gaming for Dota 2 only reached 5/10 points, but he said the team still had time to improve before entering the Riyadh Masters 2025.

This statement was shared by Pantomem in a YouTube video.

"Riyadh Masters 2025 is approaching. Currently, I only evaluate the team's performance at 5-6/10, but we still have time to prepare. The whole team will make efforts to achieve the perfect score."

According to Pantomem, the Aurora players need to learn how to surprise the opponent with a unique tactic and play "monster" more in matches. However, at the PGL Wallachia Season 5, he himself was surprised by the fact that many teams used Queen of Pain not only in the mid lane but also as Carry.

"I think the whole team needs to start to surprise more for the opponent, play" more clever "in the tactics and how to operate the match. If done, we will be able to improve the results.

For me, Queen of Pain is a big surprise in this tournament. She is becoming very strong. Some teams use her as a carry, not just mid lane. Currently, we need to study this hero adaptation. You can feel the strength and how she suddenly appears in the meta. "

Earlier, Egor "Nightfall" Grigorenko also reviewed Aurora's preparation process during the Playoffs of PGL Wallachia Season 5.
