Matchförutsägelse: Gaimin Gladiators - Nemiga Gaming | Dota 2
BetBoom Xmas ShowThe New Year is just around the corner, and the culmination of the BetBoom Xmas Show is even closer. Today, the main tournament of Eastern European DotA before the start of DPC 2023 is at its peak.
For two weeks, 14 teams from Western and Eastern Europe competed for the champion title and a $50,000 prize pool. Now there are only 3 left in the race.
In the small finals of the BetBoom Xmas Show, the finals of the losers bracket. We have to watch the confrontation between Gaimin Gladiators and Nemiga Gaming. The sign is not the most expected, but the match itself should be extremely interesting.
Confrontation of regions, confrontation of styles. Title club, participants of The International against the most persistent team of the tournament.
Let's figure out which of the teams will be stronger and earn the right to meet with Team Spirit in the grand final of The International.
Gaimin Gladiators Uniform
Let's start the review of the match with the analysis of the form of the European team Gaimin Gladiators. In this match they will act as the favorite.
The opinions of bookmakers are divided, and the coefficient varies from 1.7 to 1.8. Speaking with a stretch, Gaimin Gladiators are not such favorites.
Of course, the team is worthy, because they participated in The International and in Europe they had moments of glory. In the off-season, they made a replacement, which is still dubious, but already in the TOP-3 of the tournament with the participation of Spirit and other tops.
Gaimin Gladiators line-up
Having mentioned the permutations above, once again we look at the team members. Names familiar to all Dota fans.
- dyrachyo
- Quinn
- Ace
- tOfu
- Celeri
It should be understood that the BetBoom Xmas Show is nothing more than a place of preparation for subsequent achievements. As part of this local championship, the team is testing a newcomer, namely Quinn. Hence the not always stable game with possible misses in simple moments. All the same, “gladiators” work more for the future than for every second result.
Performance Gaimin Gladiators
We started the year with an unexpected TOP-1 in the Western European DPC WEU 2021/2022 Tour 1: Regional Final. Then there was a good TOP-3 at D2CL Season 7 and second place in the second round of the DPC.
Their first major of the season, ESL One Stockholm 2022, the team finished in 4th place. Very good, as for a debut, but then there was a decline.
The team failed the 3rd round of the DPC, taking 6th place, but retained a slot for the next season. Then there was TOP-6 at Dota 2 Champions League Season 13.
At The International 2022, the team took TOP-9-12. In the debut year, such a result is more than acceptable, given that the future counterpart did not reach such results at all.
At the BetBoom Xmas Show, Gaimin Gladiators started from the first round of the playoffs. First, they beat Nemiga 2-0, and then dealt with Virtus.pro with the same result.
In the final of the upper bracket, Gaimin Gladiators played against Team Spirit. Despite the peppy first map performed by GG, Spirit turned out to be stronger and put the squeeze on both the first map and the second one.
Heroes Gaimin Gladiators
Gaimin Gladiators, in the best traditions of competitive Western European dota, play their own way, preferring non-typical heroes like Brewmasters. He appeared 7 times and won 4 matches.
Other than that, it's more standard, with a slight tweak to the Enchantress that Seleri loves. She appeared in 7 matches but won 3 of them.
Also chosen are Shadow Fiend (5 matches, 60% win rate), Silencer (5 matches, 60% win rate), Morphling (5 matches, 60% win rate).
Uniform Nemiga Gaming
We continue the review of the finals of the lower bracket with an analysis of Nemiga Gaming's game form. They will appear in this match as an outsider with a minimum gap.
The bookmaker evaluates Nemiga Gaming's chance of success with odds ranging from 1.8-1.9. As mentioned above, the gap is extremely minimal, in fact it does not exist.
And we can agree with this in the case of Nemiga. The team is the opening of the tournament for sure.
Nemiga Gaming roster
The opening sounds loud, but it's true. As for me, the main reason why Nemiga is still afloat and hold up well.
- Kiritych
- Malr1ne
- Vazya
- hellscream
- so bad
The entire Nemiga roster has been playing like this since May of this year. For a TIR-2 team, this is an extremely high indicator, hinting at a serious management approach to building intra-team play and discipline. It also speaks about the mood of the players.
Performance of Nemiga Gaming
In the 2022 season, Nemiga played as part of the second division of the DPC EEU. In the first round, the team stopped a step away from a critical point, taking 6th place and retaining a slot in the ecosystem, but already in the next round they left the second division.
It was possible to return back almost immediately, already in a new format with an updated roster. Nemiga went through open qualifiers and continued to play within the DPC EEU - Division II with a new fuse. This paid off and after the third round, taking 2nd place, Nemiga earned a place in the first league.
Before the start of the BetBoom Xmas Show, Nemiga managed to play at several local events. The last was Last-Last Chance, where the team finished in the TOP-6.
At the BetBoom Xmas Show, Nemiga Gaming started their group stage performance. There Monaspa, YNT, RISE Esports and Hellraisers became their rivals, among others.
They managed to finish Group A in first place, which guaranteed a place in the upper bracket of the playoffs. In the first round of the main stage, Nemiga crashed against the Gladiators, losing it 0-2.
In the losers bracket, the first opponent of Nemiga Gaming was the renewed PuckChamp roster. Kiritych and the company did not experience any particular problems - 2-0 in favor of Nemiga.
Then Nemiga continued its march through the lower bracket of the playoffs. First, Nemiga closed out HellRaisers with a score of 2-0, and then with the same ease finished off Virtus.pro with a score of 2-0.
Heroes of Nemiga Gaming
Timbersaw remains Nemiga Gaming's most beloved character. The team chose him 5 times, and the hero won all his matches.
Next come Rubick with 5 matches and 80% win rate, Silencer with 4 appearances and wins in all, Monkey King with 4 matches and 75% win rate, and Pangolier with Magnus who won 2 out of 4 maps.
History of personal confrontations
Before the final of the lower bracket, the teams managed to play in the first round of the upper bracket of the playoffs. Then the Gladiators turned out to be stronger, closing the series with a score of 2-0.
Match outcome
There is a chance to see high-quality DotA in this confrontation, but most likely the match will end with a score of 2-0. This is hinted at by the last meeting of the teams and the way Nemiga play in the lower bracket.
It seems that the team from Eastern Europe has found its game and will take revenge for the first round of the playoffs. I believe in it, this is my bet.
Outcome: victory for Nemiga Gaming.
