Hello on EGamersWorlds.
We've prepared a betting tip for the Gaimin Gladiators - BetBoom Team match, which will open day two of the ESL One Berlin Major 2023 games. We will tell you what to expect: will either side manage to win the match and improve their tournament position, or will we expect a draw.
A lot of games on both sides and a lot of knowledge about European Dota are behind us. Let's go.
Gaimin Gladiators Form.
We start the analysis with an analysis of the Gaimin Gladiators' form, and they will be playing as the favourites. The bookmakers point to the Gladiators' pre-match advantage, but they are not the only ones.
The GGs are showing with all their flesh and blood that they are the top 1 team in the world. So far, it's easy to believe, because they've got a pretty solid cup baggage this season.
We will omit the fact that they are Top 2 and Top 3 in the Western European regional DPC league, as we understand that there is not much of a difference between the top teams in Western Europe. In other words, you don't have to be top 1 in the region to pull off The International, and Gaimin Gladiators is an example of that.
The team very confidently won the first Major tournament of the season, the Lima Major 2023. It was easy because they lost only 1 series in the group stage and didn't give away a card at all in the play-offs.
The GG march did not end with the championship in Lima. The team continued to perform at the top level at other major events, such as DreamLeague S19.
The Gaimin Gladiators not only won the $1,000,000 tournament, beating their archrivals, Team Liquid, in the grand final, but also gained valuable experience playing in the new patch against the best of the scene. This will help them in the Berlin Major 2023, I am sure.
- Gaimin Gladiators line-up: dyrachyo, Quinn, Ace, tOfu, Seleri.
GG will play the main line-up without any substitutions, which is also a big plus because several teams at the tournament have to resort to stand-ins due to visa problems. GG have not had to deal with them, which means they are in favour a little, but in favour.
The most popular Gaimin Gladiators characters
Topping the list of most popular characters is Disruptor. The hero has appeared in spades 6 times and has a 100% win rate.
Next comes Ember Spirit (5 games, 80% wins), Terrorblade (4 games, 100%), Undying (4 games, 100%), Doom (4 games, 100%), and Rubick (4 games, 75%).
Gaimin Gladiators is the clear choice to bet on the winner of the match. If you're happy with the low odds, go ahead.
We'll talk about BetBoom Team and see if they have any chance of beating their formidable opponent on even one card.
BB Team Form
Gaimin Gladiators' opponent for the match is Eastern Europe's BB Team. The team will play as underdogs, as confirmed by the bookmakers.
However, even without their intervention it is clear that the Eastern European team is no match for one of the best teams in Europe and the best team in the world, at least until the end of The Berlin Major 2023. The weight class is not the same, and that is clearly visible in the performance of the BB Team.
The team was very promising in the first round: a confident lead in the domestic league hinted at their possible triumph in the upcoming Lima Major 2023, because the EEU is a very serious region, given the presence of Spirit and the Dragons' performance on the international stage. However, the BB Team is not Spirit, which means they do not have to win.
The Lima Major 2023 ended in a total failure for the BB Team. The team failed to advance from the group stage, left the tournament in the TOP-16 stage and then fell into serious stagnation.
In the second round of Eastern Europe BB Team finished in 3rd place, only to be followed by HR and Team Spirit. Such performance of BB Team didn't allow the team to go through to DreamLeague S19, and after that to Pinnacle Cup: Malta Vibes #1 where BB got to Top-16.
The results for the once top 1 team in Eastern Europe are, to put it bluntly, so-so. And then there's the stand-in.
- The Berlin Major 2023 BB Team line-up: Nightfall, gpk, Resolut1on, Save, TORONTOKYO .
Resolut1on will return to the top Dota 2 division and play in his first major tournament since The International 2023. Good for him, but not so much for the team: The role swaps, though quite nominal since Nightfall knows exactly how to act in the first position, will play their part.
BB Team's most popular characters
The most used BB Team character is Storm Spirit (5 matches, 60% win rate). The team also played Primal Beast and Pugna in position 4, and both heroes had 4 matches and 100% wins each.
In spades was Enchantress (4 matches, 25% wins), Beastmaster (4 games, 0% wins).
Believe in the success of BB Taem - pick them as your winner. You can pick up a hefty haul, but the risk is high.
Predicted results for Gaimin Gladiators - BB Team
BB Team has no chance of winning this matchup. Obviously, the factor of the group stage and bo2 matches will be to their advantage, but even in such conditions the Eastern European resident won't be able to oppose the Gladiators, who recently picked up a major tournament on the new patch.
Bottom line: victory for the Gaimin Gladiators.
