Prediction for the lower bracket match at ESL One Malaysia 2022 between Gaimin Gladiators and BB Team. Will BB Team be able to deal with Gaimin Gladiators?
For Gaimin Gladiators, the last season was not the best. The team was one step away from relegation to the second division, because they had statistics with two wins and five losses. They were able to defend their right to stay in the first division only by defeating the goonsquad in replays and sending them back to the second division. GG showed a good result at ESL One Stockholm 2022 where they took 4th place losing to the champions of that tournament OG, although they had every chance of winning the series with them. After the Stockholm Major, the team began to decline, with which they are slowly starting to cope and generally play well. They were supposed to win the Entity by beating them on the first map, but it didn't go any further. Even Arc Warden's support for tOfu didn't help them and they went to the losers' bracket, while Entity went to the grand final of the qualifiers, waiting for the last opponent.
BB Team is very similar to Gaimin Gladiators in terms of their successes, the team played well one interval, and then decline. Many analysts note that they have problems adapting to the opponent and play exclusively their own DotA, however, this DotA rarely leads them to victory lately, at least against strong teams. For me, it was a surprise that they managed to beat Natus Vincere, although here it’s more questions for the Born to Win than there is anything to praise the BB Team for. Yes, Natus Vincere were tired and did not really want to play these qualifications, their mid player No[O]ne spoke about this, but they had to win the BB Team, especially with the victory on the first map. But we have what we have. Navi left the qualifiers, and the BB Team will continue to try their best, but I think their efforts against Gaimin Gladiators will be in vain, the second ones are corny strong.

tOfu has a very diverse hero pool, it's rare that he plays the same hero twice in a row. Yesterday, Arc Warden fell on his shoulders against Entity on the second map, but he failed to win.
Gaimin Gladiators win - odds 1.60.
BB Team win - odds 2.25.
Forecast
Gaimin Gladiators should end the match in their favor without too much trouble. It seems to me that the victory over Natus Vincere for BB Team was an accident, in which it was the fault of the Born to Win, and the BB Team was just lucky. Gladiators are looking pretty good right now and they had every chance of winning against Entity, but it didn't work out a bit. In the same confrontation, I won't be surprised by a quick 2:0 from the Gladiators, but I think it's not worth risking such a bet, but you can take the victory in the series for Gaimin Gladiators. I do not believe in the outcome where BB Team could be stronger than GG, based on the latest results of both teams, the second team is now a cut above. As I said, I advise you to bet on the victory of Gaimin Gladiators.
