Maç Tahmini: Talon Esports - Gaimin Gladiators | Dota 2
The Lima Major 2023We meet the last game of the first stream of games at Lima Major 2023. We are reviewing the confrontation between Talon Esports and Gaimin Gladiators.
By analogy with a parallel match, we have a confrontation between the regions here. Western Europe vs. Southeast Asia.
Gaimin Gladiators made it to Lima Major 2023 taking second place in the home league. The team showed an unexpectedly good level of play after the autumn reshuffle.
Talon Esports, experiencing difficulties throughout the past year, also pleasantly surprised. They placed third in the local DPC 2023: SEA - Upper Division.
Everything is clear on paper, but will the pre-match indicators turn out to be correct? We will look for the answer to the question.

We begin the review of the match with the introduction of the Western European team. In this they are destined for the fate of the favorite.
It is easy to agree with the pre-match opinion of the bookmakers. The team took second place in the premium league, which means they have an idea of how Dota 2 works.
A weighty argument in favor of GG is the club's loss in tournaments outside the DPC ecosystem. Gaimin Gladiators were regular guests of BB events, where they managed to play against serious competitors of the Tundra and Spirit level.
Gaimin Gladiators line-up
Before the start of the 2023 season, GG had a roster rotation. They changed the midlaner, which should have had a strong impact on the team's performance and eventually affected.
Gaimin Gladiators Players
- DyrachYO
- Quinn
- Ace
- tOfu
- Celeri
The results are even better than before. Quinn, who replaced BOOM, organically fit into the GG roster and complemented the team, making a serious bid for subsequent success.
Now GG has to pass the final test and prove himself in battles with the best representatives of the world DotA.
Performance Gaimin Gladiators
GG finished the first season of Western Europe in second place. The team won 5 matches out of 7, thus securing their position.
Lost to GG OG and Team Liquid. There are no questions about the latter, they are the main contender for victory in the Lima Major, but you could butt heads with OG, but those days are gone.
In addition to DPC, there were also commercial tournaments. The first of these was the BB Xmas Show, where the “gladiators” tested the new line-up.
Then the club played at BB Universe - Comics Zone. The tournament went well, but not perfectly: Gaimin Gladiators took 3rd place there, putting Spirit and Tundra ahead of themselves.
Heroes Gaimin Gladiators
The most popular characters for the couple are Pudge and Crystal Maiden. Both characters have spawned 7 times and both have a 42% win rate.
Another popular guest is Natures Prophet. He is used both in position 1 and 3, and the win rate of the hero is 50% of wins,

Let's move on to the analysis of the game form of Talon Esports. They will play the role of an outsider in this match.
It is obvious that a team not from a premium region will be in absentia in a similar status. In the case of Talon Esports, their performance during the season also plays a role.
Talon were within a hair's breadth of missing out on the Lima Major. Saved the replays.
Talon Esports roster
Since joining Dota 2, Talon's roster has undergone many changes. The new season was not without them.
Talon Esports Players
- 23savage
- Mikoto
- Jabz
- Q
- Oli
The last changes took place in November last year, but were global. 2 new players have joined the roster: Jabz, Q and Oli.
The newly arrived duo once represented Fnatic and have been in the competitive scene for a very long time. In general, while the roster works, albeit with problems.
Talon Esports Performance
Talon Esports played the regional league with a score of 4-3. This result allowed them to take the last 3rd place for the passage to Lima.
However, I had to play in tiebreaks. There, Talon beat Blacklist 2-0.
In addition, Talon Esport played at a number of local tournaments. Like the BB Xmas Show, one of them took place before the start of the DPC.
That was the M.Invitational championship, where Talon managed to get into the TOP-4, which can not be called a good result. But the championship at BTS Pro Series Season 14 is another matter.
Talon Esports Heroes
Talon has very specific peaks. The team uses Rubick (10 matches, 9 wins), Tusk (9 games, 77% wins), but they also pick Elder Titan (8 matches, 100% wins), Templar Assassin (8 games, 100% wins).
There are also Broodmother (5 matches, 80% win rate) and Treant Protector (4 matches, 50% win rate).
History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams did not play each other in head-to-head confrontations. This fight will be the debut face-to-face match in the new competitive season.
The outcome of the fight
In this match, I'm expecting a pretty vigorous game. First of all, they expect to see fresh ideas and a creative approach to drafting.
Both clubs are famous for their unique playstyle, and Talon play their own meta. The most likely outcome for me is a draw, and if I choose a winner, I would prefer Talon.
Outcome: draw.
Gaimin Gladiators are the 7th team in the world ranking. On this command, I have very strained thoughts. After the TI period the guys start very well again and again. So they managed to win the BB Xmas Show, defeating Team Spirit 3:2 in the final. We took 2nd place in the group at the European DPC, placing above Tundra, ETG, OG. And they managed to get 3rd place at BB Universe Ep 1, missing all the same Spirit and Tundra. But as the year progresses, their success gets worse and worse. A very controversial organization.
Talon Esports is the 18th team in the world ranking. After TI, we managed to play enough matches to evaluate them. Firstly, at DPC I expected a much stronger performance from them. I would like to see them in 1st place, considering how poorly Fnatic and BOOM performed. But they are located only on the 3rd line, passing Execration and GeekFam in front of them. Maybe they don't rate DPC much, but it's still not clear to me. On BTS Pro Series S14, they show total domination, moving around the upper bracket without any problems, and in the finals they even closed Fnatic 3:0.
It is not clear in what preparation GG will approach this tournament. It is most logical to assume that they will close Talon without any problems based on their latest results. and move on, but I don’t feel such confident strength in them. Learned from bitter experience. More inclined to believe in a card from outsiders.
I'm a bettor, I live only by this. I devote all my time to this. There are no more interests.
I have been running my business for quite a long time and have achieved some success in this. Believe me or not - everyone's business. But why not try? Maybe you like this life too!
