Can Tundra or Gaimin Gladiators Claim The International 2024?
Published: Sep 9, 2024
Facing one another in the Upper Bracket, both Tundra Esports and Gaimin Gladiators have a solid chance of claiming the Aegis of Champions for The International 2024. However, only one team can move on to the Upper Bracket Final – let’s find out how the odds stack the competition.
GG.Bet Outright Match Odds
In this heavyweight Western Europe match-up, the TI13 odds barely favour Gaimin Gladiators:
- 13/09 @ 19:00 CEST – Tundra Esports (+127/2.27) vs Gaimin Gladiators (-170/1.59)
These Dota 2 TI betting odds were accessed 09/09 from GG.Bet and are liable to change.
Tundra’s Saksa is out for blood
Starting in Group B with three draws and a stand-in player, Tundra Esports seemed like a wounded animal, a shadow of their former selves. Gifted a one-sided match-up in the Seeding Decider, they then drew the likes of Team Falcons in the Upper Bracket Quarterfinals.
Matched up against the Dota 2 TI Power Rankings favourite, Falcons, things were looking grim. However, spurred on by Saksa’s experience and determination to be the best stand-in of all time, Tundra pushed Falcons with a fury. So much so, that Tundra took down the favourites in a 2-0 sweep after an iconic 67-minute long second map.
Can Tundra keep up this performance or was the win over Falcons in the Dota 2 TI bracket a fluke?
Gaimin Gladiators looking shaky
Gaimin Gladiators has certainly not cruised through The International. Finishing second in Group A, they took down G2 x iG with a 2-1 scoreline and then nouns in a similar fashion in the Upper Bracket Quarterfinal. All of these were hard-fought battles.
However, this is only a testament to this team’s resilience and experience in tough situations. In this match-up against an unpredictable and fiery Tundra Esports, Gaimin Gladiators will need to abuse the lack of preparation that Tundra has had ahead of TI2024.
Otherwise, their recent win at Riyadh Masters 2024 is likely what Dota 2 TI betting sites are using to favour Gaimin Gladiators here.
Head-to-Head Record
Let’s take a look at the most recent matches between these two teams in 2024:
- DreamLeague Season 23 – Gaimin Gladiators (2-0) Tundra Esports
- ESL One Birmingham 2024 – Tundra Esports (2-0) Gaimin Gladiators
- Elite League 2024 – Gaimin Gladiators (1-1) Tundra Esports
Seemingly, this match could go either way.
