Match Prediction: Gaimin Gladiators - TSM | Dota 2
BetBoom DachaWelcome to EGamersWorld.
BB Dacha is reaching its end. The penultimate commercial tournament of the season is getting ready to find out the name of its winner.
TSM and Gaimin Gladiators will face off in the grand finals. The teams will compete for the 150,000 cash prize and the championship trophy.
A very unexpected pair of opponents will host a bo5 series. The winner takes it all and the loser settles for a 1.62 prize.
Let's try to find out who will be stronger and will be called the winner of the first BB Dacha tournament so far.
Let's go.
Gaimin Gladiators uniforms
Let's start the analysis of the match by analysing the Gaimin Gladiators form. In this match the club will play the first number one, which is not surprising in principle.
Bookmakers highly estimate the chances of GG to win. The odds on the success of the strongest team in the world are at around 1.4.
This is a weighty argument in bo5 and, I repeat, quite obvious. GG are once again playing in Search and Destroy mode and it seems very difficult to counter them.
At DPC 2023 Tour 1 WEU Division 1, the team took the top 2, which opened the way for them to The Lima Major 2023. The first Major season of the tournament was a trailblazing triumph for the Gladiators. Gaimin Gladiators won the tournament without losing a single map in the championship play-offs.
The next DPC cycle in the home league ended even worse than the previous one. Then GG lost to tiebreaker for the top 2, but more than compensated for the failure with a performance on the international stage. Even twice.
On the eve of Long Copega DPC 2023: Tour 3, GG took the championship in two international arenas. They won the $1,000,000 DreamLeague S19 and The Berlin Major 2023, defending their status.
In the third round of the domestic league, Gaimin Gladiators were expectedly one of the top contenders to win the league, but failed to get the regional championship. At the end of DPC 2023: WEU Tour 3 GG took 2nd place, but they made it to the Major, and that's the main thing.
- Gaimin Gladiators lineup: dyrachyo, Quinn, Ace, tOfu, Seleri .
There was also DreamLeague Season 20, where in the first group stage GG felt like they played half-heartedly. Nevertheless, they made it to the next stage and then won the grand final.
After winning DreamLeague Season 20, Gaimin Gladiators won another title. This time it was the Major a Champions Cup again. At Bali Major 2023, GG were once again beaten by Team Liquid in the grand finals.
GG had high chances to finish all the big tournaments of the year with victories, but at Riyadh Masters 2023 they were unlucky. In the first round of play-offs "gladiators" fell to the lower play-offs grid, where Ledgeili Talon Esports at the stage of TOP-4 and left the championship.
In the first match of the group stage BB Dacha team met 9 Pandas. One of the best teams in Eastern Europe, and in the whole competitive scene, could not oppose GG. As a result: an easy 2-0 for GG in 50 minutes for two games.
In the next match GG met Beastcoast, who can be called the second contender for the play-offs. However, against the background of GG they looked faded and "gladiators" won 2-0 without any problems.
At the end of the group stage Gaimin Gladiators took sole TOP-1. The three-time Major champions played with the score 7-1 on maps, losing only to Nigma Galaxy.
In the first play-offs match GG met TSM, and the result of the match was not what we expected. GG won, but won with a score of 2-1.
In the match to advance to the grand finals, GG met Team Secret. The match turned out to be very one-calibre, ending 2-0 in GG's favour.
The most popular Gaimin Gladiators heroes
The most frequent pick was Rubick. The character appeared in the GG peak 8 times and has 87% wins.
Next came Pangolier (6 matches, 83% wins), Doom (6 matches, 66% wins), Keeper of the Light (5 matches, 80% wins), Ember Spirit (5 matches, 80% wins).
We also took Ember Spirit (4 matches, 100% wins), Terrorblade (4 matches, 75% wins).
TSM Form
We continue the match analysis with the analysis of TSM's form. In this match the North American club is playing as a number two.
Bookmakers are not ready to believe in the success of TSM. The odds for their victory are at around 4.
And that's still not bad. TSM look very vigorous at the tournament and it seems that they are the only team that can impose and have already imposed a struggle on the Gladiators.
The American club had a rather controversial season, but they achieved their main goal. They are at The International 2023.
Before making it to The International 2023 TSM made a good mark on the domestic scene. The club won two seasons of DPC 2023: NA Upper Division, but in the third and final season they showed a critically low performance: there TSM ranked in the top 3, which in the current realities of the North American Dota 2 scene is not a good indicator.
There were some performances on the international scene as well, but again, very questionable. TSM attended 2 Major tournaments - Lima Major and Berlin Major - and both failed miserably. While Lima had a top-14 ranking, the German event saw the team ranked in the top-18.
In between ranking events, TSM attended commercial andVent events. Among them: DreamLeague Season 19 and DreamLeague Season 20, as well as Riyadh Masters 2023. TSM finished all three championships with essentially nothing: Top 8 at DL S19, Top 14 at DL S20 and Riyadh Masters 2023.
- TSM lineup: Timado, Bryle, Kasane, Ari, Whitemon.
BB Dacha looks like an outlet for TSM so far. The team did well in the group stage of the event, making it to the top set of play-offs.
In the main stage, TSM Ledge or GG in the top set, but struggled. The match ended with the score 1-2 not in favour of the Americans.
Next opponent was 9 Pandas. Representatives of Eastern Europe were the clear favourite, but surprisingly Ledgeili so still dry.
In the match for the small final TSM played against Beastcoast. Another match and another confident win for the Americans (2-0 in favour of TSM).
In the Grand Final match TSM played against Secret. The Americans literally declassified their opponents, closing the series with a score of 2-0 without much difficulty.
The most popular TSM heroes
Natures Prophet and Rubick appeared most often in spades. Both characters were taken 4 times each and have 100% wins.
Vengeful Spirit, Beastmaster and Tusk have appeared a similar number of times. They have won 3 matches each out of 4 appearances.
Head-to-head history
Previously, the teams have crossed paths with each other 5 times. GG won 4 of the matches, considering the top seeded match at BB Dacha, and the only draw happened at Lima Major 2023.
Predicted result of the BB Dacha Grand Final between TSM and GG
It's hard to believe in TSM in a match against Gamin Gladiators. "Gladiators" will win, but I believe in the fight from TSM and that they will be able to squeeze at least a card, or better two.
Bottom line: a 3-1 win for Gaimin Gladiators.
TSM is the 9th team of the world ranking. They play well in the first 2 DPC rounds, finishing the first and the second on the 1st position. But at Lima Major the team does not do well at all. At the end of the tournament they are located on the 13th-14th place. At Dreamleague Seasone 19 showed themselves well enough, reaching the 8th line of the final table. Berlin Major was quite disappointing. They shared the last place with IG. The 3rd DPC round was also sad. We took the 3rd place and did not get to the Major.
Gaimin Gladiators - 2nd team of the world ranking. The first round of DPC ends on the 2nd place, passing Team Liquid in front of them. Lima Major finished in 1st place, confidently beating Liquid in the grand final 3:0, but at that time TL had a replacement. According to the same trend and in the second round of DPC GG cede the leading position to Liquid, passing in front of them and Tundra. 3rd place. A similar situation to the previous major catches up with us at Dreamleague, where in a tough grand final GG defeated Liquid with the score 3:2. The same situation awaited us at Berlin Major. Liquid GG Grand Final, from which GG came out victorious. The 3rd round DPC had a rest, but it didn't prevent them from taking the 2nd place at the end of it. DreamLeague S20 was no exception to the team's winning ways. They won the tournament. The traditions of Bali Major have not changed, where the team again took the 1st place.
In bo3 format TSM managed to take away the map from GG. After such a confident victory on Secret, will they not be able to take it in bo5?
I'm a prognosticator, I live only for this. I devote all my time to it. I have no other interests.
I've been doing this for 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!
