Matchförutsägelse: Team Secret - Gaimin Gladiators | Dota 2

Welcome to EGamersWorld.

The BB Dacha finals are getting closer. Four teams remain in the race for the $150,000 top prize, including Secret with Gaimin Gladiators.

The pair of Western European residents came closest to winning the penultimate commercial event before The International 2023. After this bo3, one of the teams will head to the grand final of the BB Dacha tournament, while the loser will fall to the small final on the lower grid.

Our job is to try and predict who that team will be. I'm sure we'll get The International an interesting spectacle, because each side is motivated to win: Secret have failed everything they can this season, and Gaimin Gladiators are simply playing everywhere as if it were the last time and it's no wonder that BB Dacha shouldn't be an exception.

Well, let's see who of the Secret/Gaimin Gladiators pair will be the first finalist of the tournament. Let's go.

Gaimin Gladiators uniforms

We open the match analysis with an analysis of the Gaimin Gladiators match form. In this match, the club will play the first number one.

This is indicated by the facts and bookmakers. The odds for the victory of GG are at around 1.3.

We should not be surprised by this state of affairs, because GG have been setting the pace all year. BB Dacha is no exception.

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 placeless 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 they won by a score of 2-1.

Most popular Gaimin Gladiators heroes

The most frequent pick was Rubick. The character has appeared in the GG peak 8 times and has 87% wins.

Next came Pangolier (6 matches, 83% wins), Doom (6 matches, 66% wins), Keeper of the Light (5 matches, 80% wins), Ember Spirit (5 matches, 80% wins).

We also took Ember Spirit (4 matches, 100% wins), Terrorblade (4 matches, 75% wins).

Team Secret uniforms

We continue the match analysis with the analysis of Team Secret's form. In this match they will play second number.

Bookmakers do not believe in the success of Secret. The odds for the victory of Team Puppey are at 3.7.

And that's not even bad. Although the gap is serious, it is not as critical as it would have been at DPC 2023: Tour 3.

After reaching the finals of The International 2022, Secret changed their lineup, but it had a critical impact on their performance. So critical, in fact, that Secret completely failed in the first DPC season, falling to the second division.

In the second cycle of DPC Secret played in the second division. There, Team Puppey won the league, which was expected, but still.

• Team Secret: Crystallis, SumaiL, fbz, yamich, Puppey.

The return to the first league was supposed to be triumphant, but in reality it turned out to be a flop. Secret were terrible, and the result of their game was a repeated relegation to the second division.

After losing the first division of Western Europe, Team Secret played in two commercial tournaments. These were DreamLeague Season 20 and Riyadh Masters 2023.

Both championships Secret, to put it bluntly, failed. At DreamLeague Season 20, Puppey and company finished in the top 12, as they did at Riyadh Masters 2023.

The last event before BB Dacha was the Western European qualifiers for The International 2023. Secret looked good through the qualifiers, but still couldn't break through the most competitive region, ending up in the top 4.

At BB Dacha, SumaiL joined Puppey and that did the team good. Secret made it through the group stage and won the first round of the top set, shutting out beastcoast 2-0.

Team Secret's most popular heroes

Secret Mirana, Tusk and Primal Beast are among the most picked heroes. All have 6 matches and 83% wins.

In addition, Monkey King and Ember Spirit appeared in spades (5 games each and 100% wins). Death Prophet also played 5 matches, however she won 4 matches.

Also Jakiro (3 matches, 100% wins), Enchantress (3 matches, 100% wins). Abaddon (2 matches, 66% wins), Broodmother (2 matches, 100% wins).

Head-to-head history

During the season GG and Secret met twice in head-to-head matches. Both matches were won by GG, but in the last one Secret took the map.

Predicted result of Team Secret vs Gaimin Gladiators at BB Dacha

Given Secret's play at BB Dacha, I will believe that they can pick up a card here. In favour of this argument is GG's loss in the match against Nigma Galaxy.

All in all, it will be very difficult for Secret to win, but they can take the map.

Bottom line: +1.5 on Secret.
