PSG.LGD have made a number of home appearances this season and also played in the Lima Major 2023. By the way, they had a stand-in as the season progressed (zeal, who previously played in EHOME, took the 3rd position).
In the first round of the DPC all was not bad, as PSG.LGD took the top 1 via tiebreaker, leaving their direct rival from Aster behind. However, the game at the Lima Major 2023 reversed all the achievements of the Chinese club.
PSG.LGD produced their worst result in the 2023 Long Run Major in the club's recent history. The team finished in the top-12 there, which led to the aforementioned re-signing and then the top-2 at DPC 2023: Tour II China Upper Division.
Apparently, the failure in Peru hit PSG.LGD very hard and they decided to improve their performance in Berlin by all means. To this end, the team decided to skip DreamLeague S19, a major $1,000,000 commercial event, and focus on preparing for the Berlin Major 2023.

Gaimin Gladiators - PSG.LGD predicted match result
A win for Gaimin Gladiators at odds around 2.1 would be the logical betting choice. However, the other outcome should not be dismissed either.
It should be understood that the games will be played on a fresh patch and the teams will adapt to it as the tournament progresses. This situation is worse for the favorites, and given the fruitful European preparation of PSG.LGD, I think they will be able to take the map.
Bottom line: +1.5 on PSG.LGD.
