History repeats itself over and over again - Gaimin Gladiators takes a long time to get started, but then goes fast. Gladiators played insecurely in the group, in the decider with difficulty passed G2.iG, and in the quarterfinals of the top net playoffs almost got burned by nouns. The team got the necessary break before the main stage of the tournament, will rest, prepare new surprises for their opponents.
Riyadh Masters 2024 clearly showed the strength of Gaimin Gladiators. You should always prepare for this team, even if they look bad in the game. The pressure is off the Gladiators a bit, they are not always called favourites at tournaments, perceived as strong middlers. At The International 2024, dyrachyo shows himself in all his glory - Anton is doing better than his teammates in the KDA tournament, not forgetting to connect to early fights and make the difference in teamfights. The patch in Dota 2 is perfect for Ace, the offliner knows how to realise himself in aura meta. Last year Gladiators won three majors due to auras and Ace going into the third kora, and this year they won Riyadh Masters 2024.
Last year, Gaimin Gladiators reached the grand finals through the entire lower set. This time the path to the match for Aegis is shorter, but the opponents are tougher. But the law works well: the worse the Gladiators look in the first matches, the tougher they play in the playoffs. Especially since Seleri could adapt the draft picks to Tundra Esports during the five days of rest.
Tundra Esports
The organisation was on the verge of failure at the start of 2024. The championship roster had split up to different teams, and only Topson remained with Tundra Esports. Under him came Pure, 9Class and Whitemon, and in May RAMZES666 sat on the offline. With this fivesome they reached the top 4 of the Riyadh Masters 2024. Difficulties continued to accompany the Northmen, with 9Class failing to make it to The International 2024. Now with Saksa Tundra Esports trying to win Aegis.
The team gained momentum as the group stage progressed, with Saksa and RAMZES666 looking for synergy on a difficult line. Already by the decider the mutual understanding was found, and Topson and Pure gained crazy game conditioning. The last victory over Team Falcons was very hard work, and Pure gave his team the second card, as well as the exit to the top-6. Topson looks good in the tournament as a whole - his signature characters are in the meth, active playstyle is welcome, and RAMZES666 is not averse to playing under the two-time champion of The International. On the whole, Roma has successfully joined the new team: he is quite a unique offliner on the modern Dota 2 scene, or rather a real ‘old’ one. He ignores auras, likes to initiate and play counter-initiation. The most familiar offliners in his pool are Mars, Kunnka, Sand King, and Night Stalker. Partly for this reason, they played with Saksa, who is also more used to playing standard fours. Tundra Esports has combined the old understanding of the game with the modern meta to produce some very solid draft picks.
Topson and Saksa have won The International, RAMZES666 has won majors. Pure is currently claiming to be the best carry in the world. Whitemon calmly does his job and doesn't stand out. Experience and youth successfully fused together. The meta favors the players, all signature characters are relevant. Tundra Esports plays not always standard, but very nicely and efficiently. Before the start of the tournament, it seemed that the ‘northerners’ would have a very difficult time with replacements. Now they are contenders for the championship, at least they have a very good chance.
Expert Betting Tips
Surprisingly, these teams have crossed paths very rarely, although they have played in most of the tier 1 tournaments. It is likely that they trained with each other before TI2024, so they know each other well. Tundra Esports showed in the last match that favorites are not a verdict for her. Topson wants a third Aegis, and can switch on the ‘international mod’ to full power.
