Things are not going well for Gaimin Gladiators players. You can't name a more iconic roaster in the world who made it to the grand finals more often last season. Team GG has been at the top level throughout 2023. The Gladiators have been in the grand finals of all three majors (incidentally taking the title and trophy for all of them) and The International (finishing second) last year - second to Team Spirit, ironically, today is their next face-to-face meeting with that opponent.
Having started the 2023-24 season with hype and another 2nd place finish at ESL One Kuala Lumpur in December, the new year of 2024 seems to have been a complete failure for them. Consistently finishing 5th-6th in all subsequent tournaments, GG seemed to burn out, finishing 11th-12th at ESL One Birmingham.
In Bucharest they had a good start, but let's be honest, the opponent of the European grandson was not the most formidable, but today is a real test for GG players.
Team Spirit
Recent poor performances and results have damaged Team Spirit's reputation and the morale of the championship roster. The journey of last year's TI champions (and two-time champions at that) to BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024 ended with a 5th-6th place result. Then, with one day remaining in the Elite League group stage, Team Spirit was eliminated along with HEROIC and Blacklist International. The team, twice TI champions, was sent ‘home’ with a dismal 13th-14th place finish.
Further, the Dragons were unable to find a way out of the group stage of ESL One Birmingham 2024. Team Spirit manager Dmitry Korb3n Belov spoke out about the team's departure from the Elite League in his Telegram channel, saying that the team is not in the best shape at the moment. He also did not rule out the possibility of disbanding the squad if the team needs it.
The next tournament is extremely important for Team Spirit, first of all to prove to themselves that they can still be on top of the Dota Olympus. And the starting day went extremely well for the Dragons. We saw the prime and strong two-time world champions, and haters may say that the victory was only over Virtus.pro, but even a month ago we would not have seen such a result, the main thing is that the quality of the game has improved a lot.
