Twice teams won The International from LB; Can Gaimin Gladiators do it too?

The International 2023 favorites, Gaimin Gladiators are in the lower brackets.

Twice in TI history teams were able to seize the Aegis from this position.

No other event rivals The International.

Gaimin Gladiatorshave come intoThe International 2023as the utter favourites.

Their 2022-23 Season run has been nothing less than spectacular.

Until Riyadh Masters, they had won all five premier Dota 2 tournaments of the 2022-2023 season.

In this series, Talon overpowered Gaimin Gladiators 2:1 and sent them packing to the lower brackets.

But can they do it?

However, typically it isn’t so easy for the favourites to become the champions at The International.

The pressure is at the highest level and every single team is gunning for you.

But just like the other two, Liquid crashed and burned with a 7-8th position finish.

Team Liquid quickly became one of the top household names in Dota 2.

Claiming title after title.

They took first in their group to seed into the upper brackets but were dropped immediately byInvictus Gaming.

Before this, all the teams that have won have been a part of the upper bracket finals.

This definitely gives the team an advantage.

Don’t believe it?

Just look at OG twice!

In both 2018 and 2019 andWings Gamingin 2016.

In 2021Team Spiritwas the underdogs.

Once at TI10, things didn’t start out exactly the best for them.

And then something clicked.

They were immediately knocked down to the lower brackets by Invictus Gaming in a 2:1 loss.

All Team Spirit kept saying was they were just there to have fun.

We know that it has happened before for both the underdogs and to favorites.

There is no rest of the wicked.

They have managed to win four tier 1 tournaments in a short span of time.

Quinn Quinn Callahan is a very dedicated and hardworking person.

THEY NEED TO BE STOPPED!!!

GG quickly moved to the top of conversations in the Dota 2 landscape.

Not even a major, game-changing patch could overpower this team.

They continue to show no weakness other than to Talon perhaps.

It isn’t the first time Talon overpowered Gaimin Gladiators in recent memory.

In DreamLeague Season 20 GG dropped a game also to Talon in their journey to the championship title.
