Aske «Cy-» Larsen was not on Gainin Gladiators's registration list at the Fissure Universe: Episode 6, which raised doubt that the team could have really lost its coach.

This information is recorded on the Liquipedia data port.

Typically, the coach always accompanies Gainin Gladiators in the tournaments, but this time Cy- is not listed in the squad. Many people in the DOTA 2 community consider this an indirect sign that Cy- has left the organization.

However, the club has not made any official notice, so it is not possible to confirm whether the team really lost the coach right before The International 2025.

In addition, it is also necessary to repeat that it has appeared rumors that Markus «Ace» Hoelgaard may leave Gainin Gladiators right after the tournament ended.
