Matchförutsägelse: Evil Geniuses - Gaimin Gladiators | Dota 2
The International 2023Welcome to EGamersWorld.
We continue to watch The International 2023 as the play-offs heats up. We talk about the lower grid, where the matches for life in the tournament take place.
After discussing the American derby between TSM and Shopify Rebellion we move on to the second match. Evil Geniuses vs Gaimin Gladiators.
To be honest, I didn't expect to see this pair at such an early stage of The International's lower grid. If you can understand the presence of EG here, but Gaimin Gladiators in the first round of losers is a really surprising thing. And yet here they are.
Let's find out who will be stronger in this Bo3 and move further down the grid, and who will have to say goodbye to the main stage of The International 2023 and start packing their bags.
Let's go.

Let's open our match analysis with an analysis of the Gaimin Gladiators' form. They will play in this match as favourites to win with odds of around 1.18.
At the DPC 2023 Tour 1 WEU Division 1, the team took the top 2, which opened the way for them to The Lima Major 2023. The first Major season of the tournament was a trailblazing triumph for the Gladiators. Gaimin Gladiators won the tournament without losing a single map in the championship play-offs.
The next DPC cycle in the home league ended even worse than the previous one. Then GG lost to tiebreaker for the top 2, but more than compensated for the failure with a performance on the international stage. Even twice.
On the eve of Long Copega DPC 2023: Tour 3, GG took the championship in two international arenas. They won the $1,000,000 DreamLeague S19 and The Berlin Major 2023, defending their status.
In the third round of the domestic league, Gaimin Gladiators were expectedly one of the top contenders to win the league, but failed to get the regional championship. At the end of DPC 2023: WEU Tour 3 GG took 2nd place, but they made it to the Major, and that's the main thing.
- Gaimin Gladiators lineup: dyrachyo, Quinn, Ace, tOfu, Seleri .
There was also DreamLeague Season 20, where in the first group stage GG felt like they played half-heartedly. Nevertheless, they made it to the next stage and then won the grand final.
After winning DreamLeague Season 20, Gaimin Gladiators won another title. This time it was the Major a Champions Cup again. At Bali Major 2023, GG were once again beaten by Team Liquid in the grand finals.
GG had high chances to finish all the big tournaments of the year with victories, but at Riyadh Masters 2023 they were unlucky. In the first round of play-offs "gladiators" fell to the lower play-offs grid, where Ledgeili Talon Esports at the stage of TOP-4 and left the championship.
In the first match of the group stage BB Dacha team met 9 Pandas. One of the best teams in Eastern Europe, and in the whole competitive scene, could not oppose GG. As a result: an easy 2-0 for GG in 50 minutes for two games.
In the next match GG met Beastcoast, who can be called the second contender for the play-offs. However, against the background of GG they looked faded and "gladiators" won 2-0 without any problems.
At the end of the group stage Gaimin Gladiators took sole TOP-1. The three-time Major champions played with the score 7-1 on maps, losing only to Nigma Galaxy.
In the first play-offs match GG met TSM, and the result of the match was not what we expected. GG won, but won with a score of 2-1.
In the match to advance to the grand finals, GG met Team Secret. The match turned out to be a very one-sided match, ending 2-0 in favour of GG.
Gaimin Gladiators won BB Dacha defeating TSM in the grand finals. The match ended 3-1 in favour of Seleri and company.
Before The International 2023, GG also attended DreamLeague Season 21. There they showed not the best performance, having played the championship on TOP-8.
The International 2023 itself is not much better. While the group stage was mostly good (5-3), the seeding game against Talon was a failure (1-2) and GG is here.

The most frequent pick was Rubick. The character has appeared in the GG pick 8 times and has an 87% win rate.

Evil Geniuses uniforms
We continue the match analysis with an analysis of Evil Geniuses' form. In this match, they play the number two with odds to win around 4.8.
In the first round of the DPC 2023 SA Division 1 Evil Geniuses finished second. A win over Beastcoast was not enough. Later visited The Lima Major 2023, where they more than made up for the loss in their home league by finishing top 6 in the Peruvian tournament.
Then play the second round of the DPC in South America and again top 2, and again Beastcoast are ahead. However, the international scene helps again, where EG are already in the top 4 at ESL One Berlin Major 2023, making them the highest scoring team from the region in history.
In the third DPC cycle, Evil Geniuses finally clawed their way back to the top of the regional scene. Evil Geniuses won DPC 2023: SA Division 1. And after such a good streak of high scores, EG fell face down in the mud, finishing in the top 18 at Bali Major 2023.
- Evil Geniuses line-up: Pakazs, Chris Luck, Wisper, Matthew, Pandaboo.
Evil Geniuses made it to the Riyadh Masters 2023 thanks to ESL rankings and the merits of the past. I don't know if Bali Major 2023 was a mental breakdown or if EG really started playing so badly.
After failing at Bali Major 2023, I didn't expect anything good from EG, but EG turned it on. The Evil Geniuses closed out the first game day with a 3-1 win over 9 Pandas and finished with a draw against Team Spirit. However, it was not possible to finish what they started: at the end of Riyadh Masters 2023 Evil Geniuses finished in the Top 12, which was a so-so result.
After participating at Riyadh Masters 2023, Evil Geniuses visited BB Dacha. They failed it, finishing in the top 6 out of 8 places. They also failed DreamLeague Season 21, finishing in the top 10 at the end of the tournament.
They played very mediocre at The International 2023. They finished 2-4 in the group, later won the re-matches for life in the tournament, and then lost to Liquid for seeding in the play-offs without a chance.
Evil Geniuses' most popular heroes
The top most popular Evil Geniuses heroes were Beastmaster and Death Prophet. Both heroes were taken 8 times each and had a 75% win rate.
Following DP and Primal Beast was Leshrac, and he was most often played in the third position. He appeared 6 times and had a 66% winrate.
In addition, Marci (5 matches, 60% wins), Templar Assassin (4 matches, 100% wins), Jakiro (4 matches, 100% lunch) were picks.
History of head-to-head meetings
During the season the teams played 5 times and twice Gaimin Gladiators won. The rest of the games ended in a draw.
Predicted result of Evil Geniuses - Gaimin Gladiators match at The International 2023
Let's be blunt: Gaimin Gladiators should have played in the top flight, but they lost the advantage twice in the match against Talon. GG look worse at The International 2023 than they did during the season, but they are still a very strong team. They should be able to eat up EG like they are now.
Bottom line: 2-0 win for GG.
