Maç Tahmini: Tundra Esports - Gaimin Gladiators | Dota 2

The third stream of games within the second gaming day of the Lima Major 2023 group stage will give us one of the key matches of the draw. In the face-to-face confrontation, Tundra Esports and Gaimin Gladiaotrs will play.

The match is interesting no matter how you look at it: the Western European derby, the teams know each other, the clubs claim the championship in the group stage. We expect a bright fight, especially after the first matches at the Major.

Gaimin Gladiators and Tundra Esports have identical stats. The teams played two matches and won 3 maps each.

Pre-match indicators are another argument in favor of the match being epic. If the winner is determined in this match, he will single-handedly lead the standings, albeit not for long, most likely.

We are trying to figure out which of the residents of Western Europe will be stronger and whether there will be such a team here.

Tundra Esports Uniform

We start the review of the match with an analysis of the game form of Tundra Esports. In this duel they will play the first number.

Bookmaker in his own way. Experts believe in the success of Tundra Esports and give odds of around 2.4 for this event.

Most likely, flashbacks from a year ago, when Tundra won The International and so on, are playing in the memory of bookmakers. In the new season, the team is not so monumental, but still good.

Tundra Esports roster

Obviously, the team is still a serious player in the competitive arena. There were no line-up changes, but we lost a little in terms of performance.

Tundra Esports Players

• skiter
• nine
• 33
• Saksa
• sneyking

The Tundra problem remains unchanged. They prepare carefully for the team, stronger than for other participants in the group stage. It may not be true, but the feeling is there.

Tundra Esports performance

The champions of The International 2022 made it to Lima Major not without problems. And quite serious.

Tundra Esports qualified for Lima Major 2023 by taking 3rd place in the regional league of Western Europe. The team finished 4-3.

The pass was not easy because Tundra had to play round robins against Entity and OG. Fortunately for the players and fans of the club, they turned out to be stronger in roulette.

In addition to playing at DPC 2023: WEU - Upper Division, Tundra played in commercial tournaments, the last of which was BB Universe - Cosmic Zone.

There, Tundra Esports got the victory, moreover, resorting to stand-ins in the final of the upper bracket. In the grand final, Tundra beat Spirit 3-2, thus getting a good preparation for the start of the upcoming tournament.

In the first match, Tundra Esports played against Execration. The strongest team in Southeast Asia managed to take the card away from Tundra.

Tundra Esports later met with EHOME. In that match, it was clear why the champions of The International 11 are respected and feared: Tundra 2-0 Ehome 0

Heroes Tundra Esports

The most selectable Tundra character is Rubick. He has appeared 4 times and has a perfect win rate.

In addition, another popular hero, Tusk, appeared 4 times. He lost one game.

The signature Beastmaster 33 performed even worse. The character was chosen 4 times and won 2 matches.

The general tendency is to refuse to play fully on 33. Let's see if it changes as the tournament progresses.

Gaimin Gladiators Uniform

On the other side of the barricades will be Gaimin Gladiators. They will appear as an outsider.

Bookies don't have enough faith in GG's success. The team's chance of winning is estimated by a coefficient around 4.3.

The results of the past days were taken as the basis for the assessment. The results of the first DPC season in the top division of Western Europe, the results of third-party commercial events where Gladiators played, and so on. That is why the Gladiators are lagging behind, although in Lima I would not say that there is a difference between the teams.

Gaimin Gladiators line-up

The Gaimin Gladiators roster has undergone major changes. Although they changed one player, but the feeling is that everything has changed.

Gaimin Gladiators Players

• DyrachYO
• Quinn
• Ace
• tOfu
• Celeri

Quinn has seriously reformatted the team, adding the ability to rely on the mid player to the game. This was not the case with BOOM, and now, with the arrival of the American, GG can give more space to their carry, which needs it badly.

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. Given the fact that Liquid dominated last season, there is nothing to be ashamed of. And the loss at OG did not become something decisive, and therefore the season went well.

In addition to DPC, they played at third-party tournaments. One of these was the BB Xmas Show, where the “gladiators” tested the new line-up. They did it with taste, having won the same Team Spirit in the grand final.

Then the club played at BB Universe - Comics Zone. This time Xmas Show failed to repeat the successes: Team Spirit knocked out GG, leaving them on the 3rd line.

Gaimin Gladiator made their debut with a match against Talon Esports. In that game, the residents of Southeast Asia took the card, which was quite a surprise.

The next game was against Team Spirit. The Dragons failed to beat their usual opponent and lost the game with a score of 0-2.

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,

History of personal confrontations

The teams managed to play with each other several times. Game score 1-1: Gaimin Gladiators won at DPC 2023: WEU - Upper Division, and Tundra defeated opponents at BB Universe - Comics Zone.

Match outcome

In this fight, the most obvious outcome for me will be a draw. Teams know each other, know what to expect from each other.

If GG don't experiment and give stable character utility to their mid laner, they are able to take the card. As for the two, I'm not sure, and I don't see how anyone here wins 2-0.

Outcome: draw.
