Gaimin Gladiators vs Team Liquid Prediction: We will not predict the winner

Prediction for the Gaimin Gladiators vs Team Liquid match which will take place on October 27th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Gladiators faced a lot of misunderstanding from the Dota 2 community. The replacement of Dyrachyo with Watson was received negatively by all viewers. In practice, Gaimin Gladiators could not quickly adapt Watson to their game system. Before the big and important tournament DreamLeague Season 24, where the team will either speed up and play or global problems will be revealed.

At BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024, the Gladiators finished in 7th-8th place, losing in the first round of the lower play-offs to Aurora (2-1). Regarding individual statistics, Watson was not far behind the top ten regarding KDA, but his new teammates failed to make the tournament. Quinn didn't earn 3 KDA per game, while tOfu was the best of the four old Gladiators (3.4 KDA per game). The problem with the new line-up is the lack of a consistent play style. Dyrachyo could create space for Quinn and Ace, play a secondary role in the team, and play out of shape. On the other hand, Watson represents a more classic style than Curry, sticking to playing for himself and his farm. The conflict in the team's understanding of the game is palpable and manifests in unexpected defeats.

Team Liquid also finished 7th/8th at the BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024, sensationally losing to Yakult`s Brothers in the playoffs. The team had just returned from their holiday after their triumph at TI2024 and came to the Dacha in a disassembled state and with old strategies. Likely, Liquid will not have time to adapt to competitive Dota 2 in DreamLeague Season 24. Why is that?

Firstly, the champions of The International have replaced 33 with SaberLight on the offlane. As SaberLight represented Team Liquid at ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023, Liquid is already familiar with the Czech player. However, in Belgrade, the offliner proved inconsistent, and the team will have to rebuild their playstyle. On the plus side, Team Liquid is returning to its old style of minimal kldowns and hard midgame pressure. On the individual side, Nisha is the standout - the midgame hasn't slipped a bit since The International 2024, but opponents are putting a lot of emphasis on him. Team Liquid plays through three seven-corners, allowing any of the m1CKE/Nisha/SaberLight trio to take the lead on the server.

The International 2024 finalists meet in a crucial match, but Liquid is in top form. The Gaimin Gladiators are having severe problems with the new carry or his introduction to their system. The last few games have all gone to Team Liquid. However, Insania always performs poorly in online tournaments, and in the last four DreamLeague seasons, they haven't made it to the second stage. Therefore, we will not predict the winner but believe in a great Dota 2 with many kills.
