Let's open our match analysis with an analysis of the Gaimin Gladiators' form. In this match they are playing the number one with odds to win at around 1.8.

At the DPC 2023 Tour 1 WEU Division 1, the team took the top 2, which opened the way for them to The Lima Major 2023. The first Major season of the tournament was a trailblazing triumph for the Gladiators. Gaimin Gladiators won the tournament without losing a single map in the championship play-offs.

The next DPC cycle in the home league ended even worse than the previous one. Then GG lost to tiebreaker for the top 2, but more than compensated for the failure with a performance on the international stage. Even twice.

On the eve of Long Copega DPC 2023: Tour 3, GG took the championship in two international arenas. They won the $1,000,000 DreamLeague S19 and The Berlin Major 2023, defending their status.

In the third round of the domestic league, Gaimin Gladiators were expectedly one of the top contenders to win the league, but failed to get the regional championship. At the end of DPC 2023: WEU Tour 3 GG took 2nd place, but they made it to the Major, and that's the main thing.

• Gaimin Gladiators lineup: dyrachyo, Quinn, Ace, tOfu, Seleri.

There was also DreamLeague Season 20, where in the first group stage GG felt like they played half-heartedly. Nevertheless, they made it to the next stage and then won the grand final.

After winning DreamLeague Season 20, Gaimin Gladiators won another title. This time it was the Major a Champions Cup again. At Bali Major 2023, GG were once again beaten by Team Liquid in the grand finals.

GG had high chances to finish all the big tournaments of the year with victories, but at Riyadh Masters 2023 they were unlucky. In the first round of play-offs "gladiators" fell to the lower play-offs grid, where at the stage of TOP-4 Ledge or Talon Esports and left the championship.

Before The International 2023, GG visited DreamLeague Season 21. There they showed not the best performance, having played the championship at the TOP-8 stage. After The International 2023, GG performed well, despite losing the TI 2023 Grand Final against Team Spirit. Next, GG had a top-2 finish at ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 and a top-6 finish at BB Dacha Dubai 2024.

Gaimin Gladiators made an appearance at DreamLeague Season 22, where they managed to finish in the top 5. Next up was the Elite League tournament, where they again finished in the top 6.

Before playing at PGL Wallachia Season 1, GG played at ESL One Birmingham 2024, where they finished in the top 12. At the Romanian tournament itself, GG went 3-1 in the play-offs.

Team Liquid uniforms

We continue the match analysis with the analysis of Team Liquid's form. In this match, Liquid are playing as number two with odds to win around 2.1.

At DPC 2023: WEU Division 1 Tour 1 Liquid did not lose a single match, and then took the top 2 at The Lima Major 2023, while playing with substitutes. More than decent.

The second round of the DPC was as similar to the previous round as possible. Liquid again took the Top 1, but now with only one loss in the table. On the international stage, Liquid shone again, but were still overshadowed by Gaimin Gladiators, who took their second Major a Champions Cup of the season.

In their third season, Liquid were no longer able to cement their supremacy. "Liquid" fell to fourth place, but it was good enough to pass at Bali Major 2023, which in the case of the past at The International 2023 Team Liquid does not play any role.

• Liquid lineup: miCKe, Nisha, 33, Boxi, Insania.

After the disappointing result at DreamLeague Season 20, where Team Liquid fell out of the first group stage, there was a feeling that Bali Major 2023 would be held for "Liquid" on the "Mypognye" notes. However, Liquid decided to switch on and play to the full.

And they almost succeeded: they took the top 2, losing in the grand finals to Gaimin Glaidators! Again. Third time at a Major tournament in a year.

Riyadh Masters 2023 Team Liquid started at the Play-In stage, as they surprisingly didn't collect enough ESL ranking points. They finished the Play-In with a 3-1-1 score and second place in Basket A, and then played the group stage with a 3-3-1 statistic, advancing to the top set of play-offs.

At the end of the biggest tournament of the year, Team Liquid finished in the top 2, which can't be called a bad result. Unlike the top-10 at DreamLeague Season 21, which was after the Riyadh Masters 2023 and before Longsong The International 2023.

Team Liquid made it to the next round of the group stage pretty confidently from Group B. "Liquid" took the top 1 by taking a 3-1-0 lead in the series.

In the play-offs seeding match, Liquid faced Evil Geniuses. The Peruvians are not happy at this The International 2023, from which they expectedly lost 0-2 against Liquid.

In the first round of play-offs LIquid met Talon Esports. They won on class, taking two maps. What is true, further went not according to plan: a loss from Spirit and then Gaimin Gladiators, already at the bottom of the table. At the end of the main event of the year Team Liquid took the top 6.

The new season began with a performance at Kuala Lumpur 2023, where they reached TOP-2. In 2024 they played everywhere they could. They also went to BB Dacha and made it to the TOP-2 (lost in the final to Falcons), played on DL Season 22. DreamLeague Season 22 was definitely not a priority, as Liquid were so out of shape that they didn't make it out of the group stage.

There was the 1win series tournament, where Ledge or Spirit went 1-2 in the grand finals and Elite League, where they finished top 4.

At ESL One Birmingham 2024, Team Liquid finished in the top 6, with Ledge beating future champions Falcons. PGL Wallachia Season 1 the team started with a win over G2.IG, then lost 2 series to Xtreme and Shopify Rebellion before beating MOUZ. Finally, they beat their counterparts from Secret, thus making it to the play-offs with a score of 3-2.

Predicted result of Team Liquid vs Gaimin Gladiators at PGL Wallachia Season 1

In this match I don't expect the highest level of Dota 2. In my opinion, both teams are playing far from their best, which was evident during the group stage. And this is a good prerequisite to see a full-fledged Bo3.

Bottom line: total +2.5.
