Predicted result of the match Heroic - Gaimin Gladiators
European teams have recently shown better results on the professional scene. Let's bet on the victory of Gaimin Gladiators.

Maksym has been working at EGamersWorld since 2017. Joining the company during his first year at university, he worked as a translator until 2022. After that, Maksym began working as an editor. His main discipline is Dota 2, and over time, Maksym's responsibilities expanded to include CS:GO, CS2 and Valorant. Additionally, as an editor, he publishes various materials on gaming topics.
Gaimin Gladiators is the 10th team of the world ranking. At the recent game events the organisation shows though good, but still not the most convincing result. Especially against the background of their performances in the 23rd year. At BB Dacha Dubai they could only get to the 6th line. DreamLeague Season 22 was a little better. As a result - 5th place. The same result was achieved at Elite League - 5th place. ESL One Birmingham 2024 turned out to be quite deplorable for the team. We took the last place, but to be fair, the fight was very hard. PGL Wallachia Season 1 was not satisfactory. We reached the 8th position. Rehabilitated at DreamLeague Season 23, managed to reach the grand final, but unfortunately lost to Falcons.
Heroic is the 19th team of the world ranking. Unexpected performance of the guys even for their region. They managed to get through the qualifications with the only slot on ESL One Birmingham and DreamLeague Season 23. Elite League was not too spectacular for the team. We didn't get very high at all, 15th place. But they played relatively well at ESL One Birmingham 2024, where they managed to get the 7th place. Considering the usual achievements of the team, this is a growth. PGL, however, brought everything back to the usual line, where they took the last place out of 16. DreamLeague Season 23 was not bad, where they got 7th place. But we passed the qualifications for Riyadh and TI with great confidence, not losing a single map.
In general, I think it's logical to assume that GG will be stronger, but in bo2 format I won't risk to bet on the victory. I'd rather take the outsider's handicap.
I am a prognosticator, I live only this. I devote all my time to it. I have no other interests.
I have been doing my activity for quite a long time and have achieved some success in it. Whether to believe me or not is up to everyone. But why not give it a try? Maybe you like this kind of life!
Prediction: +1.5 Heroic!
