BLAST Slam III just got a little more exciting. As Aurora Gaming's Nikita "panto" Balaganin blasts the entirity of Gaimin Gladiators. The rant came after Aurora beat Xtreme Gaming, leading into an elimination match between the two squads.

Panto went through the every player on Gaimin Gladiators and shared why he disliked each one of them


Panto: "Tomorrow we are going to beat Gaimin Gladiators"

The two teams met each other in the group stage and the game was a convincing victory for the Gladiators. It was the third series victory in a row for Gaimin. The upcoming match is different though, as it will be the first time the two teams eliminate each other from a tournament.

Panto was asked to talk about the series after beating Xtreme and he started off quite hot, "Tomorrow we are going to beat Gaimin Gladiators and I want to say some bad things about this team. Because I hate them so much, I hate everybody in this team."

The hard support then went on each player personally. Starting off with Gaimin's notorious mid, "I hate Quinn because every time I play with him in pub, he go AFK at 10 minutes and say "There's no chance to play this game, so I don't want to even try anymore". But against me, he always try his best, even make fake GG and still play."

Undoubtably a talented player, Quinn "Quinn" Callahan has caught flak in the past for his behaviour in pubs. He has even been reprimanded by his own organization. For his part, Quinn has apologized for his past.

Even the new players were not spared Panto's ire, "I also hate Malady. Because every time I meet him in pub, he want to steal my role. What's more, I don't really like Watson, because he always last pick Timber and try to win one against nine. It's like ok bro, you gonna practice some heroes instead of winning game."

Panto ended his discussion on Gaimin Gladiators by saying that he doesn't like Marcus "Ace" Christensen and Erik "tOfu" Engel for using smurf accounts.

We hope that Panto was playing it up for the camera, but either way. it certainly makes the upcoming series more exciting to tune in.
