Gladiators are in the top 3 of The International 2024. The team won the Riyadh Masters 2024 in July, and now they want to do a golden double like Team Spirit did last year. The offenders have already left the main tournament of the year, and the teams ahead are teams that Gaimin Gladiators have skillfully handled before.
The upper grid semi-final against Tundra Esports proved to be a very easy one. The dyrachyo team overwhelmed the opponent with tempo strategies, and the carry himself showed very interesting developments with Lone Druid. The meta aur is great for Ace, he sets the tempo from a difficult line. Quinn once again overshadows Dyrachyo; the American shines and wins game after game, while Anton sacrifices his farming and connects to early runs on the map. This approach wouldn't work for any other team, but the Gaimin Gladiators dominated 2023 on exactly the same meta. ‘Gladiators’ use side portals, start doing map rotations under the first active runes, move non-stop. That being said, they always have a safety net of strategies for entering the late stage.
Gaimin Gladiators had a rough start to The International 2024, lacking confidence. After the meeting with Xtreme Gaming it seemed that the team could not play with the tops, and after the match with Nouns there were concerns about the form of the players. After the break Gaimin Gladiators played in a completely different way - fast, clear, fun.
Team Liquid
The LAN tournament is favorable for Team Liquid. Liquid got a taste of the stage and immediately switched on at full capacity. Cloud9 could not oppose Team Liquid, and Gaimin Gladiators may not be able to survive under such a team.
Finally, we saw Nisha in his best form. Mid-hero pulled two games on his shoulders. Insania gave him greedy heroes with a late exit, levelling him in priority farming with m1CKe, and the team became even more dangerous. On both maps, Nisha was the best player in terms of both KDA and damage dealt. Team Liquid manages to have a balanced draft, you can trace the entire current meta through the team, but Liquid also organically combines characters. Team Liquid doesn't pressure from the lines, and the advantage is captured through team fights. You can judge from the last match against Team Liquid - for the first ten minutes the teams stood evenly matched, and at the first brawl, Liquid took the gold lead.
Team Liquid broke the curse of second places before The International 2024. After losing in the Riyadh Masters 2024 Grand Final, the team travelled to Peru and won Elite League Season 2. This is the first trophy for Liquid in four years, even though they were not serious opponents in Peru. It was important for Insania to feel like winners, because Team Liquid had previously lost eight finals in two years. But now it's a different team, with a fresh experience of winning.
