Talon Esports knock out Shopify Rebellion, Gaimin Gladiators advance to The Lima Major 2023 finals

The penultimate game day of The Lima Major 2023 has ended. There are not so many teams left in the tournament bracket that fight for the main prizes, and Dota 2 fans could watch two victories of Talon Esports over eminent rivals. Also, yesterday marked a rather expected fall of Liquid into the lower bracket.

The first confrontation was the duel between Entity and Talon Esports. Talon has already exceeded the expectations of most viewers. 23savage and the team defeated Entity on two consecutive maps lasting 35 minutes each.

Next was an extremely entertaining match between the two favorites of the tournament. Team Liquid and Gaimin Gladiators played in the final of the upper bracket. But all the intrigue was destroyed by the sad news shortly before the start of the match. Team Liquid's support Boxi left the tournament due to health problems, and was replaced by Jabbz, Team Liquid's analyst. As expected, the team was unable to provide proper resistance to Gaimin Gladiators and fell to the lower bracket final with a score of 0:2.

In the last match of the day, Shopify Rebellion played against Talon Esports. Spectators saw all three cards, which were played in a one-sided manner. As a result, Talon Esports defeated Arteezy and the team with a score of 2:1 and advanced to the finals of the lower bracket.

Recall that The Lima Major 2023 takes place from February 22 to March 5 this year in Lima, Peru. The venue will be Arena 1. 18 teams are fighting for a prize pool of $500,000 and 1,900 DPC points necessary to get to The International 2023. The champion, in addition to the winner's cup, will earn the main prize of $200,000 and 400 DPC points.
