Forutsigelse av kamp: Gaimin Gladiators - Tundra Esports | Dota 2
Riyadh Masters 2023Welcome to EGamersWorld.
Riyadh Masters 2023 is gaining momentum. At the biggest commercial event of the year the play-offs, or more precisely - the lower grid of the main stage, is starting.
Today we will start saying goodbye to the participants of the main race for the huge prize pool. PSG.LGD and Quest will be the first to fight for their lives at Riyadh Masters 2023, and then we will see the main match of the day - the European derby with Tundra Esports and Gaimin Gladiators.
To tell you the truth, this is not the match I was expecting in the first round of the lower grid. But this Riyadh Masters 2023 only makes The International more interesting.
Let's try to see if reigning champions Gaimin Gladiators will be able to cope with the first round of the lower grid, where they have not been at all this season, or if Tundra will be the first team on the international stage to knock GG out of a major championship.
Let's go.

Let's start the analysis of the match with an analysis of the Gaimin Gladiators game form. In this match the team will play in the status of favourites.
The list of all Dota 2 betting sites lists the Gladiators as the favorite. The odds for their victory are at around 1.3.
Despite getting into the first round of the lower grid, the Gladiators retain their status. The advantage in this match is due to the same thing as before: the Gaimin Gladiators are undeniably the best team in the world this year.
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 rallying cry of 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.
The last tournament before the Riyadh Masters 2023 was The Bali Major 2023. The third Major tournament ended with another triumph for Gaimin Gladiators. In the grand finals, Liquid were once again run over.
After exiting the group stage with a statistic of 8-6, Gaimin Gladiators met their arch rival from Team Liquid. This time, Liquid were able to beat their vis-a-vis. Fun fact: Liquid earned more for one Bo3 series than GG earned for winning three Major events.
The most popular heroes of Gaimin Gladiators
The most frequent pick was Rubick. The character has appeared in the GG pick 8 times and has an 87% win rate.
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).
Tundra Esports uniforms
We continue the match analysis with the analysis of Tundra Esports form. In this match, a top European club will play as an outsider.
Bookmakers are not ready to highlight Tundra as a favourite in the match against Gaimin Gladiators. The odds for a Tundra victory are estimated at around 3.2.
The gap is solid and it didn't come out of nowhere. It's all about the overall performance of the teams, and also Tundra's personnel problems.
In the first cycle of DPC 2023 Tundra only through tiebreaker entered the top 4, at the end of the season ranked in the top 3. This gave them an opportunity to play at The Lima Major 2023, which they failed, finishing in the Top 12.
Things got better in the second DPC cycle. Tundra had re-matches again and again they did well, except now it was a Top-2 division match. Things also got better on the international stage at ESL One Berlin Major 2023, where the reigning world champions from The International finished in the top 6.
In the third cycle, DPC Tundra returned to the top of the competitive dota. The reigning World Champions of The International finished in the top 1 in their home league.
- Tundra Esports lineup: skiter, Nine, 33, Aui_2000, Sneyking.
Tundra visited DreamLeague Season 20, but they were not very eager to win there. The team didn't make it past the first group stage and finished in the top 9-10.
At Bali Major 2023, Tundra had a forced stand-in. Saksa left the squad due to illness, but it didn't stop Tundra from reaching the top 3 of the tournament.
In Riyadh, Tundra again resorted to Aui for the same reason. With him they were able to get through the group stage and survive the round robin tiebreaks. All in all, there is an OG vibe of 2022 in Tundra.
The most popular characters in Tundra Esports
Among the most popular characters in Tundra picks is Techies. The character has been picked 9 times, and his winrate at that is 66%.
Next is Bloodseeker, who has been picked 8 times. His win rate is 50%. Batrider (7 matches, 71% win rate), Doom (7 matches, 57% win rate), Timbersaw (6 matches, 66% win rate) were also picked.
Head-to-head history
It so happened that Tundra became GG's headache in the home league. There "gladiators" have not beaten their vis-a-vis once (3 matches). On the international stage GG are in the lead, and they won twice.
Match outcome
GG should win here, but I have my doubts. Despite the substitutions in Tundra's lineup, they are still a serious opponent specifically for the Gladiators.
Tundra have a shot at Aui and he looks very harmonious in the lineup. GG are really tired, and it can be seen in this event. I would like to see a different scenario at Riyadh Masters 2023, different from the final of Gaimin Gladiators - Team Liquid, and for this the first after falling into the lower net should get off the stage.
Bottom line: Tundra wins.
Gaimin Gladiators are the 1st team of the world ranking. DPC finish the first round 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 takes the 1st place.
Tundra Esports is the 6th team of the world ranking. They had a pretty good DPC in their region, taking 3rd place in the first round, 2nd in the second and 1st in the 3rd. But the results deteriorated when the team got to Lima Major. There they managed to take only 9th-12th place. Not the brightest performance of the team. At DreamLeague S19 everything is much better. They were placed on the 4th place. Berlin Major was a little less bright. They managed to take the 5th-6th place. DreamLeague S20 was not very bright for the team. They finished it only on the 9th-10th place. At Bali Major we managed to climb to the 3rd position. Not without some luck, of course, but still.
Liquid with difficulty and then in the upper grid with GG managed to deal with, but it was a very strong battle of the two titans. Perhaps Tundra I would put on a step lower. I think GG will beat them.
I'm a prognosticator, that's what I do for a living. I devote all my time to it. No other interests.
I've been doing this for a long time and have achieved some success. Whether to believe me or not is up to everyone. But why not give it a try? Maybe you like this kind of life too!
Prediction: GG wins!
