OG vs Gaimin Gladiators Prediction: GG Will Deal With OG

Prediction for the Riyadh Masters 2024 match, which will take place on July 12th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

OG is holding its own after the first two days of competition, defying expectations. The draws against Blacklist International and Team Spirit were good for Ceb's squad because they brought in some crucial points. But more importantly, yesterday's win over Heroic put the team in second place.

The OG squad was seen as one of the top contenders for one of the two spots in the European qualification for TI13. However, before the top set semi-final against Entity, there was a change to the lineup with Ceb out and Immersion in. In the end, OG said Ceb might miss the next series because he would be a dad. If one of the players on the current roster misses more than two games, the team could be disqualified.

Ceb showed up for the game, but as expected, the OG lacked cohesion in one of their most important series. Many individual and team mistakes led to a 0-2 loss to NAVI Junior, which was the biggest surprise in the WEU qualifiers.

Gaimin Gladiators haven't had much success this season. It's hard to think of a more iconic duo in the 2022-23 season than GG and the grand finals. This team has been at the top of its game. The Gladiators made it to the grand finals of all three majors (and won them all, by the way), and The International (where they finished second) lost to Team Spirit. After a solid start to the 2023-24 season, with a second-place finish at ESL One Kuala Lumpur in December, the team faced challenges in the new year. GG kept finishing in 5th or 6th place at each tournament, and it seemed like they were running out of steam. They finished in 11th or 12th place at ESL One Birmingham.

But at the Riyadh Masters, the Gladiators found their groove. Yes, they had an unexpected setback in the battle with Heroic, but then the Europeans bounced back in the game against Team Falcons, beating the formidable opponent. And yesterday, they sealed a draw with Team Spirit. It's evident that Gaimin Gladiators are invested in this tournament, and their performance is a factor.

OG caught them off guard at the start, but the Gladiators know their opponents well and will be able to break their game. Points are going to be crucial in Group A.
