Gaimin Gladiators a Series Away from Securing their Ticket to TI
Gaimin Gladiators has been dominating their run at The Berlin Major. Recently, Gaimin Gladiators hasn’t dropped a single series in the tournament. Moreover, the team hasn’t dropped a single game in their upper-bracket run. The team is just a series away from attending The Grand Finals of The Berlin Major.
Reaching the grand finals of The Berlin Major will mark a third consecutive grand final attendance for Gaimin Gladiators. Furthermore, Gaimin Gladiators has a perfect record winning both The Lima Major and DreamLeague Season 19 before their Berlin Major run. Currently, the team has 1140 DPC points, just below Team Liquid. Regardless of whether they win The Berlin Major, Gaimin Gladiators certainly will receive their TI2023 ticket if they can prevail in their series against 9Pandaz.
Triumphs Runs
Gaimin Gladiators are a relatively new team in the Dota 2 scene. They entered the scene by acquiring Team Tickles, and during their debut year, they secured multiple top-seed finishes in the DPC 2021-2022 season. However, after an early exit at The International 2022, the team undergo a roster shuffle. Their former midlaner Miroslav “BOOM” Bičan, joined Team Secret, and Quinn "Quinn" Callahan joined them for DPC 2022-2023 season.
Although it was a controversial move and Quinn received a lot of backlash at that time, the team silenced the doubters with their triumphs. They prevail over the favourites, Team Liquid, back at The Lima Major. However, people doubted it because Team Liquid was playing with a standin’. Gaimin Gladiators proved it wasn’t a fluke by beating Team Liquid twice since then, first at the WEU Division I playoffs then again at DreamLeague Season 19, where they would become champions securing their Riyadh Masters ticket.
The Favorites
Currently, only Team Liquid puts up a challenge for Gaimin Gladiators, but success has eluded them. They are like a perfectly oiled machine, and everyone has a perfect synergy with one another. Quinn always dominated his midlane, and the team supports tOfu, and Seleri always makes perfect rotations during the laning stage. The cores of the team, dyrachyo and Ace, always step up in the late game. The team is currently the favourite to win The Berlin Major and remains undefeated.
