The last match of the first round of the ESL One Stockholm 2022 playoffs. T1 and Gladiators will play in the final match of the day.
The battle between Europe and Southeast Asia promises to be hot. Both teams demonstrated unique dota in the group stage and deservedly got into the upper bracket of the playoffs.
Closing the first game day should be the icing on the cake. Whether this will happen - we will find out very soon, but for now we are trying to predict the outcome of the confrontation.
Uniform Gladiators
Gaimin Gladiators will be the favorite in this match. The chance of success for this team is estimated at a coefficient of around 1.6.
The faith of bookmakers in Gladiators is quite justified. Gladiators, despite sometimes sluggish performance in the group, in the last series managed to even out the situation and get into the upper bracket of the playoffs.

Since the first round of the playoffs takes place indoors, and not at the Hovet Arena, and therefore the tension coming from a large audience will not interfere with less experienced performers.
