The big tournaments have started, and Team Spirit showed up in fiery form. The Dragons looked very convincing at the last tournaments - in May they won PGL Wallachia Season 1, and at the end of June they had a fun training at the 1win Series Dota 2 Summer, where in the final they just won against Gaimin Gladiators in Vo5-format. Judging by their first matches in Riyadh (2:0 against Team Falcons and 1:1 against OG), Team Spirit is focused on winning the tournament.

The stats don't lie - over the past three years, the team has had some very solid results at the Riyadh Masters and The International. It wasn't until 2022 at TI that Team Spirit failed, finishing 13-16th. In the same year, the team finished second at the Riyadh Masters, and in 2023 won both tournaments. At the same time, the Dragons can lose form during the season, losing even to obvious outsiders, and by summer and autumn they can go through all their opponents without much difficulty. If we draw conclusions from the first two series, Raddan is in optimal form, Collapse initiates like the good old days, Larl does not fall out, Miposhka and Mira are everywhere in time to help.

The Dragons in the series with Team Falcons showed that they can come back from the most difficult situations on the map, as well as develop dominance and competently enter the highground. No one has ever crushed the Falcons like Team Spirit did in Riyadh before. The community is already predicting a victory for this team at the Riyadh Masters 2024.

The Gladiators also mobilised their resources and prepared for the tournament. At the 1win Series Dota 2 Summer, the dyrachyo team performed well and reached the grand finals. Gaimin Gladiators lost to Heroic (0:2), but beat Team Falcons (2:0). Last year, the team dominated the majors and DreamLeague, but came up just a few steps short at the biggest tournaments. This year, it has suffered a major slump. Could it be that the opponents underestimated the Gladiators?

To Valve's credit, they took care of the Gaimin Gladiators and released patch 7.36, which the team desperately needed. In it, dyrachyo feels very comfortable. Firstly, Anton is in the top 50 of the European ladder in terms of MMR. Secondly, his signature characters have been revealed in a new light, and now it's easier for him to play in the first position. The patch also helped Ace to find himself - the offlayer was having a lot of trouble with his character pool and formed metha at the beginning of 2024, but now it's moved to the background. Both players perform well in Riyadh, with Quinn never slipping in form.

The Gladiators have the motivation to fight for the title, and it's higher than just prize money and a trophy. The team had suffered a very bad slump, and at moments it looked like there was no way to solve the problems at Gaimin Gladiators without a decider. But before the break, the dyrachyo team found opportunities in the new patch and reached the DreamLeague Season 23 grand finals, reminding all the tops of themselves again. We would like to believe that Gaimin Gladiators will be as dangerous as ever in Riyadh.

Let's be honest - Team Spirit is in ultimatum form. The only loss to OG was a margin of error, the Dragons are doing everything perfectly, playing every moment to the max. If Team Spirit rolled over their opponents in the group stage, they will be even more dominant in the playoffs. We hope so and believe in the Miposhka team in this match.
