Alimzhan "watson" Islambekov spoke about Quinn "Quinn" Callahan's behavior in Dota 2 matchmaking compared to the tournament matches. He believes the Gaimin Gladiators midlaner acts drastically different when it comes to professional competition. Watson gave his opinion on stream.
Quinn is a cool guy. Quinn in a pub and Quinn in an official match are two different people.
Watson also revealed that he started calling more in Gladiators. He admitted that it was his weakness in past teams.
Why do you think I don't call in GG? I talk a lot during games. Or rather, I started talking a lot. I was silent before, just played by how I felt, and on every team, they told me: "You need to talk more." Now I talk a lot.
Watson joined Gaimin Gladiators in early October 2024. Many analysts pointed out that the carry's reserved personality is different from the cheerful and talkative Anton "dyrachyo" Shkredov, and predicted that watson wouldn't fit the team. Their results weren't great after TI13 but the roster also had a similar slump last season.
