Прогноз на матч: Team Aster - Gaimin Gladiators | Dota 2

Good to see you on EGamersWorld.

We continue our review of the big commercial event of the summer - DreamLeague S20 - with a betting tee for Team Aster vs Gaimin Gladiators. This match is the penultimate game of the penultimate game day of the DL S20.

The International is an interesting match, because they are playing top teams. On top of that, we have a clash of East and West, and also the reigning two-time Major World Champions, the Gaimin Gladiators.

However, it's a little early to get excited. At this tournament, GG play worse than usual, and Aster don't shine.

However, both teams clearly need points at DreamLeague S20 and want to get into the championship play-offs. We'll see which team will be stronger, win the game and earn the points they need before the DreamLeague S20 ends. Let's begin.

The Gaimin Gladiators form.

We open the showdown with an analysis of the Gaimin Gladiators' form. In this match, the team will play as favourites.

Pre-match advantage is confirmed by the bookmakers. The odds on Gaimin Gladiators to win are estimated at odds in the region of 1.3.

In this match, as in virtually everything else, the Gaimin Gladiators will play number one and that is no surprise. The team has shown the highest level of play all year long, and they are also the reigning DreamLeague Season 19 champions, so they are a force to be reckoned with.

At the DPC 2023 Tour 1 WEU Division 1, the team took the top 2, which paved the way for them to The Lima Major 2023. The first Major season of the tournament was a triumphant one for the Gladiators. The Gaimin Gladiators won the tournament without losing a match in the championship play-offs.

The next DPC cycle in the domestic league ended even worse than the previous one. Then GG lost the tiebreaker for the top 2, but more than made up for the failure with their performance in the international arena. Even twice.

On the eve of the DPC Long Soppeg 2023: Tour 3, GG took the championship in two international arenas. They won DreamLeague S19 for $1,000,000 and The Berlin Major 2023, defending their status.

In the third round of the domestic league, the Gaimin Gladiators were expected to be one of the main contenders to win the league, but were unable to secure the regional championship. At the end of DPC 2023: WEU Tour 3 GG finished 2nd.

However, the Gaimin Gladiators are not without fault and this tournament proves it. The team plays as if with their sleeves full, but even in such a condition they can demonstrate a serious game.

At the Long Stage of the tournament GG showed a weak game, but in the course of the championship they picked up. Yes, with gritted teeth, but they are gaining.

The most popular Gaimin Gladiators heroes

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

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

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

Team Aster uniform

Team Aster will oppose Gaimin Gladiators in this match. In this match, the Chinese team will play number two.

The bookmakers confirm Team Aster's lead. The odds on the Aster victory in this match are estimated at around 3.1.

A similar valuation falls on Aster's performance and their overall team conditioning. They have perhaps resorted to the most drastic line-up changes all year.

In the first round of DPC 2023, Team Aster "gave away" the regional lead, Ledgeiv on the PSG.LGD. Following a top-2 at DPC 2023: China Upper Division, Team Aster went to Peru, where they played an "average" game, with Monet and company finishing in the top-8.

In the second round of DPC 2023: China Upper Division Team Aster finished in the Top 4, which was already noticeably worse than last time. However, it was enough to qualify for the Berlin Major 2023. At the Berlin tournament, SumaiL, the club's current star, made his debut for Aster. Truth be told, the debut was not the most successful (Top 8), but as a test for the new mid-laner - fine.

Before that, Aster played at DreamLeague S19. In DreamLeague S19, Aster were in the top 9-10. Then, after some frustrating tiebreaks, they failed to make it out of the group.

After that was DPC 2023: China Tour 3. The home league ended in third place for Aster, which can hardly be called a successful result.

• Team Aster line-up: Monet, SumaiL, Xxs, BoBoKa, Siamese C.

SumaiL's arrival gave Team Aster a bit of a boost. Before the Long Song Song of DreamLeague S20, they seemed to be the strongest team in China, but in fact things turned out quite differently.

Team Aster became the first contender to leave the tournament without winning a single match in 4 games. The encounter with GG is in fact SumaiL and company's last hope to cling to keeping their place in the play-offs.

The most popular Aster heroes

Rubick was the most frequent pick, with 6 games, 50% win rate. Keeper of The Light, Storm Spirit (5 matches, 80% wins) were also in spades.

There was Monkey King, Underlord, Terrorblade, Pugna (4 matches, 75% wins each).

History of face-offs between Team Aster and Gaimin Gladiators

The teams have played each other 4 times during the season. Only the last time, at DreamLeague S20, Aster managed to snatch a draw, prior to that the GGs were victorious.

Result of the match

Aster got deflated somehow abruptly, without really achieving anything. DreamLeague Season 20 could have been the starting point for Aster, but things turned out differently. It remains to prepare for the Bali Major 2023 and finish the matches.

I'll believe in the Aster's card as GG play reluctantly too, but I don't believe in the victory of the Chinese team at all.

Bottom line: +1.5 on Aster.
