Despite not playing the most confident home league games (Top 2 and Top 3), the Gaimin Gladiators look consistently strong at major international tournaments. "The Gladiators quietly took on everyone, including Liquid, at The Lima Major 2023, where they became the undisputed champion.
They played topically at DreamLeague S19, where, in contrast to the Peruvian Major, things were much worse, but in the end it was GG who became the first team in the tournament and the first participant in the upcoming Riyadh Masters 2023.

Team Liquid form
We continue the breakdown of the Team Liquid vs Gaimin Gladiators match with a breakdown of the Liquid's playing form. The odds on their win, just like the Gaimin Gladiators, are estimated at odds around 1.87.
The teams' nominal equality can be explained by their status and the Liquid's past merits in DPC leagues. The Liquid's other stats, however, are slightly worse than those of their upcoming opponents.
On the international stage, Liquid are consistently one step behind the Gaimin Gladiators. They have twice lost the finals of major tournaments: first at The Lima Major 2023 and then at DreamLeague S19.

The players are undoubtedly strong and capable, as we have seen in many tournaments and in the season 2023 in particular.
However, Liquid are struggling as The Berlin Major 2023 progresses. This is reflected in Team Liquid's performance.
Before the Long Song match against Gaimin Gladiators, Liquid are in seventh place in the group stage with a 0-3-0 series record. This situation is unusual for the Liquid this year to say the least.
The Liquid drew with 9 Pandas, BB Team and Team Aster. It seems like nothing critical, since they drew with the favourites, but there is less and less time to prepare, and the risks of going to the bottom of the table are getting higher and higher.
The most popular heroes of Team Liquid
The team has taken Chen four times (75% win rate). The Enchantress and Disruptor have a perfect win rate with 3 appearances, while Pangolier, Underlord and Shadow Fiend have a slightly worse rate with 2 wins out of 3.
The successful characters include Necrophos, Beastmaster, Undying, Monkey King, Rubick, Sven and Ember. They all appeared in spades 2 times each and won both matches.
Liquid have been preparing for the patch and are feeling it pretty good, but can't get things to a win just yet. If you believe that it will happen in this match - bet on the victory of Team Liquid in this match with odds in the region of 1.8.
We will take a look back at the history of the teams' head-to-head encounters, which may make the betting clearer.

Predicted Team Liquid - Gaimin Gladiators match result
The safest bet in this match is a draw. The odds, and the history of head-to-head encounters between the teams, point to that.
I'll put my faith in Team Liquid, on the other hand. "Liquid" is close to losing their credibility, as they are playing worse than they can in this tournament, and I still believe in their comeback on the third game day and their victory.
Bottom line: victory for Team Liquid.
