Kataomi` about LGD Gaming: “This is not the most difficult opponent”

BetBoom Team support Vladislav 'Kataomi` Semyonov, in an interview at the Esports World Cup 2026, spoke about the victory over LGD Gaming, spoke about preparations for Nigma Galaxy, and also shared his opinion about such a character as Slardar.

[In the last match you looked absolutely perfect. How many more other people's hopes are you going to destroy? ] I hope not our own.

[ Did you expect the episode to be so one-sided? ] I think so. This is not the most difficult opponent. I think we just prepared very well for this match, so there were no problems.

[ How did you prepare for the upcoming match? Do you feel confident enough? ] Yes, our guys are prepared. We have prepared heroes, we are ready to exchange characters. Yes, we are sure.

[ It's been about five days since their last match. Do you worry about the unexpected or are you willing to adapt according to the situation? ] They should be worried because it is difficult not to play official matches in a tournament for six days in a row. We already found ourselves in a similar situation at Riyadh last year. It was unpleasant to sit in a hotel for a whole week waiting for the playoffs.

This is a flex hero between the central and complex lines. And he pairs well with some carry heroes due to his armor reduction. Thanks to this, you can destroy an enemy character in 0.5 seconds.

BetBoom Team defeated Nigma Galaxy and Vici Gaming, becoming the first finalist of the Esports World Cup 2026. The team's opponent will be determined in the match between Team Yandex and PARIVISION.
