Welcome back to EGamersWorld.
We're getting closer to the climax of DreamLeague Season 20 Group Stage 2 and today we're talking about the Talon Esports vs Gaimin Gladiators match. The pairing will open Day 5 of the second group stage game.
As far as I'm concerned, we're in for a great opening match. And what else adds to its The International heresy is a certain amount of unpredictability.
On paper, everything is very clear: The Gaimin Gladiators, as the first team in the world, should take their lead and close the series without too many problems. In reality, however, things are different.
In this tournament, the GGs are playing worse than usual, which is easy to explain. We'll get to that in the text below.
For their part, Talon are chipper and can pull off surprises. Let's see if GG can surprise.
Gamin Gladiators' Form.
Let's start the showdown by analysing the Gaimin Gladiators' form. In this match they play in the status of favorites.
Bookmakers still believe in the success of Gaimin Gladiators. The odds of the two-time Major a champions winning are estimated at odds in the region of 1.3.
That's a bit of an understatement for me. Gaimin Gladiators is definitely the top 1 team in the world and really should beat unstable clubs like Talon, but there are doubts that they will do it in this match. And all because of the laxity in their game at DreamLeague S20. That doesn't seem to have happened before.
At the DPC 2023 Tour 1 WEU Division 1, the team took the top 2, which paved the way for them to The Lima Major 2023. The first Major season of the tournament was a triumphant one for the Gladiators. The Gaimin Gladiators won the tournament without losing a match in the championship play-offs.
The next DPC cycle in the domestic league ended even worse than the previous one. Then GG lost the tiebreaker for the top 2, but more than made up for the failure with their performance in the international arena. Even twice.
On the eve of the DPC Long Soppeg 2023: Tour 3, GG took the championship in two international arenas. They won DreamLeague S19 for $1,000,000 and The Berlin Major 2023, defending their status.
In the third round of the domestic league, the Gaimin Gladiators were expected to be one of the main contenders to win the league, but were unable to secure the regional championship. At the end of DPC 2023: WEU Tour 3 GG finished 2nd.
- Gaimin Gladiators: dyrachyo, Quinn, Ace, tOfu, Seleri .
That's not to say they played poorly at DreamLeague S20, but rather lazily. In fact, the tournament is not a high priority, because Gaimin Gladiators have already earned invitations everywhere they can, and at that rate of play it's easy to burn out - look at Liquid.
It's obviously too early to bury GG, but so far they do not inspire confidence. They have 1-2 statistics before Long Soppeg and another defeat, the second and that's it - they can't break into the play-offs.
The most popular heroes of the Gaimin Gladiators
The most frequent pick was Rubick. The character has appeared in the GG peak 8 times and has 87% of wins.
Next are Pangolier (6 matches, 83% wins), Doom (6 matches, 66% wins), Keeper of the Light (5 matches, 80% wins), Ember Spirit (5 matches, 80% wins).
Also took Ember Spirit (4 matches, 100% wins), Terrorblade (4 matches, 75% wins).
Talon Esports uniforms
Against Gaimin Gladiators in this match will be Talon Esports. Will be in the status of the outsider.
Bookmakers are in a hurry to sign Talon Esports for defeat. The odds of winning this match are estimated at odds in the region of 3.3.
The figure is sort of not the biggest, for an unqualified defeat of Talon does not indicate, but gives insight. However, I would not be too quick to write Talon off: Yes, they are not as monumental as GG, but they clearly know how to play Dota.
The first season of DPC was the most successful for Talon Esports. The team finished in the Top 3 at the Long Converge of the competitive year at home DPC 2023: SEA Division 1, but then unexpectedly broke into the Top 3 of The Lima Major 2023.
The next DPC season, the result in the domestic league improved - they took the top 1, without losing a series. However, the performance on the international stage was slightly tarnished by a top-12 finish at DreamLeague S19 and a top-8 finish at The Berlin Major 2023.
Before DreamLeague Season 20, Talon Esports played on their home stage, where they finished in the top-4 this time, while losing their chances of qualifying for the IO Bali Major 2023. A prime example of the chaotic and unstable nature of teams from Southeast Asia.
- Talon Esports: 23savage, Mikoto, Jabz, Q, Oli .
Unlike GG, Talon are clearly aiming for maximum results in this tournament. That was evident in the first group stage, and it's evident now.
Talon Esports is 2-1 and sole third place before Long Sogpeg. Talon's game against 9 Pandas was particularly pleasing, where being in a terrible position Talon thanks to Mikoto and Jabz on Mars.
Most popular Talon Esports heroes
The most frequent guest in Talon's spades was and still is Windranger. The hero was taken 10 times and won 6 matches.
They are followed by Silencer (6 matches, 66% wins), Rubick (6 matches, 50% wins), Morphling (5 matches, 20% wins).
Also fond of Batrider (4 matches, 75% wins) and also Spirit Breaker (4 matches, 50% wins).
History of head-to-head encounters
The teams last met each other at The Lima Major 2023. That match ended in a draw.
Result of the match
In this game I expect a lively pillboxing due to the high level of personal performance by the players on both sides of the barricades. I can't name a winner, but I'm sure Talon will get at least a card. That will be the bet.
Outcome: +1.5 on Talon.
Talon Esports is the 10th team in the world rankings. In the first round of the DPC, they are only in 3rd place, leaving Execration and GeekFam behind. But the Lima Major was excellent. They finished it on the 3rd position. After such a result in the Major, the DPC finished in 1st place in the 2nd round. The DreamLeague, on the other hand, was not as impressive. The team only managed to reach the 11th-12th positions. The Berlin Major was a bit more successful. They shared 7th-8th place with Team Aster. The 3rd round was quite disgusting for the team. Gave up a big amount of series and ended up in the 4th place, not even making it to the utmost majors of the year.
Gaimin Gladiators are the 1st team in the world rankings. The DPC finished the first round in 2nd place, before Team Liquid. In the Lima Major they finished in the 1st place, convincingly beating Liquid in the Grand Final 3-0, though at that moment TL had a substitute. By the same token, in the second round of the DPC GG they yield the leading position to Liquid, incidentally giving way to Tundra as well. 3rd place. A similar situation by the previous Major overtook us at the Dreamleague, where in a hard-fought Grand Final GG beat Liquid 3-2. At the Berlin Major the same situation awaited us. Liquid GG Grandfinal, from which GG emerge victorious. DPC had a rest in the 3rd round, but that didn't stop them from taking the 2nd place by the end of it.
GG probably decided to get involved in this tournament after all. They started the 2nd group stage not in the best way, but they worked on their mistakes and had a great last 2 series. In this encounter I think they will be able to take the win.
I am a prognosticator and I live for this. I dedicate all my time to it. No other interests.
I have been in this business for a long time and I have had some success. Believe it or not, it's up to everyone. But why not give it a try? Maybe you will like this life too!
