Esports often brings about intense rivalries, and one such rivalry is the ongoing banter between Gaimin Gladiators’ midlaner Quinn “Quinn” Callahan and L1ga Team’s RAMZES666. This verbal exchange took an interesting turn recently when Quinn mentioned a potential showdown in Dubai (BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024) in response to Team Spirit’s Miroslav “Mira” Kolpakov.

“Dubai, bare knuckles”
Quinn’s humorous response to a viewer’s question about a possible fight with RAMZES666 during his live stream hinted at a potential showdown in Dubai. While Quinn expressed his general disinterest in physical confrontations, he playfully noted that for a staggering sum of 13 billion dollars, he would consider stepping into the ring with RAMZES666.
“I won’t fight anyone. I don’t like to fight people, I don’t find it fun. And I especially don’t like to get beaten up. That’s even worse. But all right, for 13 billion dollars I would fight RAMZES.” – Quinn “Quinn” Callahan
How did the beef between Quinn vs RAMZES start?
This lighthearted exchange is the latest chapter in the ongoing rivalry that began in earnest in 2023. The beef dates back to earlier interactions in public matches, where Quinn took offense to RAMZES666’s abrasive in-game behavior, even dubbing him “Ramdog” in post-match interviews. Over time, what started as a serious grievance transformed into a more light-hearted, meme-driven banter.
RAMZES jokingly suggested an MMA match as a potential resolution to their ongoing rivalry, sparking further interest from the esports community.
The MMA fight between Quinn and RAMZES
The ongoing banter between Quinn and RAMZES has captured the imaginations of the esports community, even leading to the creation of a meme envisioning their rivalry culminating in an MMA showdown. This meme gained such popularity that it was featured during a broadcast on the tournament stream of BetBoom Dacha 2023, albeit in a virtual wrestling game.
During the event, the Russian commentary team of BetBoom DACHA participated in a simulated wrestling match in the WWE 2K video game using custom mods representing RAMZES and Quinn. Quinn himself witnessed this virtual representation of their rivalry at a BetBoom DACHA event, finding humor in the hilarious depiction.
While Quinn has suggested meeting in Dubai for a brawl, RAMZES666 won’t be appearing since L1ga Team did not qualify for BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024. Nevertheless, the rivalry between Quinn and RAMZES serves as an example of how competitive spirit can become a sensational Dota 2 meme.
