Match Prediction: Gaimin Gladiators - OG | Dota 2
DreamLeague Season 19 - Group Stage 2Welcome to EgamersWorld.
We end another game day of DreamLeague Season 19 with a betting teaser on the OG - Gaimin Gladiators match in the second stage of the $1,000,000 tournament.
Before the Long Song match, we refreshed our memory of the playing teams: we watched replays of matches at DreamLeague S19 and in DPC 2023 home leagues. We analyzed the teams' performance (or one of them) in international tournaments, making this match report possible.
We'll tell you what to expect and who will emerge the stronger of the two.

We begin our analysis of the Gaimin Gladiators vs OG by analysing the performance of the Gladiators, who are favoured to win the match. Bookmakers give odds of around 1.3 for GG to win.
GG's position in this derby is more than obvious. This is the top 1 team in Western Europe, and in addition the best team in the world according to The Lima Major 2023.
GG finished in the top 2 in the first round of the DPC before beginning their Peruvian campaign in The Lima Major 2023. The team went head-to-head in the Peruvian Major - they did not lose a single series in the play-offs, and they did not surrender a single game in the top-flight finals.
In the second round of the DPC, things were a little worse, as the Gaimin Gladiators found themselves in a replay with Tundra Esports for the top 2, at the end of which they lost. The Western European Top 3, however, guaranteed GG passage to the German The Berlin Major 2023.
- The Gaimin Gladiators at DreamLeague S19: dyrachyo, Quinn, Ace, tOfu, Seleri.

OG Form
We continue our analysis of the Gaimin Gladiators - OG match with a breakdown of the latter's form. OG in this match will play as the underdog with odds of victory in the region of 4.
Bookmakers estimate the odds of an OG win lower than those of the Gaimin Gladiators for good reason. OG is nominally and actually weaker than the Gladiators.
The team has twice struggled in the regional league. In the first season, OG finished in the top 5 of the tournament without qualifying for The Lima Major 2023, and then, in the second cycle with a changed lineup, they managed to qualify for the Berlin Major 2023.
Speaking of the OG roster. After the only substitution on Surrotte, the team recovered its spirit.
- The OG line-up for DreamLeague S19: Yuragi, bzm. DM, Taiga, Chu .
With the arrival of Chu, the squad began to play more solid Dota. Taiga is still bzm, but Yuragi and especially DM are increasingly seen in winning games.
Thanks to the improved level of play since the first round of DPC 2023, OG made their way to the second stage of DreamLeague S19, having beaten the subgroup replay.
Through four days of the second round, OG are 1-3 in the standings and have a match against TSM in reserve. There are chances to go 2-3 and try to snatch victory in this match.
OG's most popular heroes
Rubick remains the most frequent guest in OG picks over the past week. The character has been picked 10 times, with him winning 6 matches.
Next are Doom (5 games, 60% wins), Dark Willow (5 games, 50% wins), Invoker (5 games, 40% wins).
In addition Zeus (4 games, 25% win rate), Techies (4 matches, 0% wins). Signature for Yuragi Morphling has only appeared in spades 2 times.
If you're willing to put your faith in bzm and DM - pick OG as the match winner with odds around 4.

OG - Gaimin Gladiators head-to-head history
The teams have played each other twice this season. One win for each club, but GG won the last time, on DPC 2023: WEU Upper Division Tour II.
Predicted result of the OG - Gaimin Gladiators match
Given the situation in the standings, I think Gaimin Gladiators will play their best in this match. They need to earn wins and quietly pass on.
If GG won't pick some obscure WD and Phantom Lancer-ovs in the first position and play their standard Dota, they'll win without too much trouble. Here OG should cling to their Doom, Morph and other signatures, but I'm afraid GG will not allow it.
Bottom line: 2-0 win for GG.
