Forutsigelse av kamp: Team Liquid - Gaimin Gladiators | Dota 2

We continue to watch what is happening as part of The International 2022. On our screens is the third day of the group stage, where Liquid and Gladitors will play in the opening match.

The Western European derby promises to be intriguing, as both clubs claim a place in the TOP-4 and the upper bracket, respectively. Points in the group stage are never superfluous, and given the situation of the teams, they have additional weight.

We are trying to figure out which team will win the match (if there is one) and trying to figure out how the match will go.

Form Team Liquid

Team Liquid will be the favorite for the match. The coefficient for the victory of “liquid” is estimated at around 2.4.

We must not forget that the format of the match is bo2, and therefore the figure in the region of 2.4 is a fairly standard practice for highlighting a favorite. We have Team Liquid, as you might guess.

After a rather depressing season, or to be more precise, its second half, faith in Liquid sank. The team played well online and literally rained down at LAN events. The situation has changed thanks to the Last Chance Qualifier.

Liquid's Last Chance Tournament was played not as the main contender for victory, but as a club with a high probability of success. The whole event was held in the same logic.

Success in the group stage turned into a defeat in the winners' brackets and a comeback in the bottom right up to second place. The charge at The International 2022 was received and as the tournament progressed, this was evident.

Team Liquid results at The International

• Draw with RNG 1-1
• Draw with Soniqs 1-1
• 2-0 victory over BB Team
• 2-0 victory over Evil Geniuses
• Lost to PSG.LGD 0-2

Here we will add a good game with PSG.LGD and immediately scold. Losing a match with a clear advantage due to a double damage rune is a sign of inattention or just a coincidence.

Team Liquid roster

• MATUMBAMAN
• MiCke
• zai
• Boxi
• InsaNia

Liquid is experiencing a second youth in this tournament. It sounds too pretentious, but in fact it looks like it. Naturally, the team has enough marriage, but the overall picture is still positive. I will not tire of repeating that in the case of Liquid, their appearance and subsequent victory at the Last Chance Qualifier played a key role.

Heroes Team Liquid

In their picks, Liquid focuses on Death Prophet (4 matches, 75% wins), Mars (4 matches, 50% wins), Slark (3 matches, 66% wins), Vengeful Spirit (3 matches, 66% wins), Marci and Pudge (3 matches, 66% of wins).

Gaimin Gladiators Uniform

Team Liquid will face Gaimin Gladiators as an outsider. The chance of winning a team from Western Europe is estimated at a coefficient of around 5.

It is difficult to disagree with the opinion of the bookmakers, if only because of the similar situation between GG and Team Liquid. Both teams dominated the regional league for some period, but could not show a decent game at major events.

However, with major events, I got excited. Gladiators were in a major and climbed into the TOP-4, which the current Liquid could not boast of. However, the fact of playing within the major does not change the fact that after it the team lost in performance.

Looking back at the last DPC season in Western Europe, one can't help noticing a significant decline in Gladiators' performance. This was before the start of The International, but now it seems that the team has found its game again.

Gaimin Gladiators results at The International 2022

• 2-0 victory over BB Team
• Lost to OG 0-2
• Draw with Hokori 1-1
• Draw with BOOM 1-1
• Lost to Royal Never Give Up 0-2

As we can see, GG is storming and so far they have not fully turned on. That is, if they want to get involved at all. Perhaps now we are seeing the peak of gladiators, here time will tell and more matches within The International 2022.

Gaimin Gladiators line-up

• DyrachYO
• BOOM
• Ace
• tOfu
• Celeri

The team hasn't changed its roster since getting into the Gaimin Gladiators. They've been playing together since Team Tickles.

Heroes Gaimin Gladiators

At this The International 2022, gladiators do not invent a bicycle. The team picks classic Morph, Shadow Fiend, Beastmaster and Silincer. From the interesting Brewmaster, who won 2 matches out of 4 and Enchantress from Seleri, who nevertheless lost 3 matches out of 4.

History of personal confrontations

Previously, the teams played each other during the seasons at DPC EUW Division 1. The last such was in the third round, when Team Liquid won with a score of 2-0.

Match outcome

In this confrontation, extremely important points will be played and both teams will fight for them. Here I am for Liquid, because I see more confidence in them. They are already “targeted”, they looked good against the strongest teams of the group, unlike the same Gladiators.

The teams know each other well and this will also play a role. In general, for Liquid.

Bottom line: Liquid wins.
