Gaimin Gladiators – Can They Go All the Way?
Last year, Gaimin Gladiators were favourites to win The International after absolutely decimating the Dota Pro Circuit, winning all three Majors in the 2022/3 season.
Considering that no team in Dota 2 history has won a Major and then gone on to win The International in the same year, they were seemingly cursed and faltered at TI12. This season however, has been very different.
Not winning all season long, they have consistently placed second in Grand Finals, earning their first win at Riyadh Masters 2024 in July to improve their Dota 2 The International betting odds.
Getting to grips with the aura deathball meta at the right time, Gaimin Gladiators is feeling confident after stomping Team Liquid at the Riyadh Masters Grand Final.
Building on this incredible roster since 2022, they’ll want to avoid falling to the Lower Bracket early at TI this year. Notably, at the last TI, their fatigue shone through in their devastating Grand Final loss.
Team Spirit – Three-Time Hopefuls
This isn’t Team Spirit‘s first rodeo at The International. In fact, they’re gunning to be the first side to ever win The International three times.
Maintaining their incredible roster throughout the years, there’s no doubt over the capability of this roster. Besides their long history, this season they peaked at PGL Wallachia Season 1, when they took down Xtreme Gaming 3:2 in the Grand Final.
Moreover, Team Spirit is one of the few sides that has bested Team Falcons at times, the alleged super-team. Yet, their shaky set-plays and strategies have yielded inconsistent results, such as when they finished 7-8th at Riyadh Masters 2024 or 9-10th at ESL One Birmingham.
Yet, considering they’ve won The International as underdogs in the past, there’s no way one can count out this TI team from winning it all.
Team Falcons – Sealing a Legacy
If Team Falcons don’t win at The International, it may have all been for nothing.
Their run this year is incredibly reminiscent to that of Gaimin Gladiator last year. That team fell short after a shocking upset to Talon Esports in the Seeding Decider.
Considering their epic achievements and deadly roster, all eyes are on Team Falcons and all of the top teams are preparing to face them. As the favourites, Falcons needs to take every threat seriously and avoid an unnecessary slip-up.
With the experience of TI winners “skiter” and “Sneyking”, together with the only player to ever win TI as a coach and a player “Aui_2000”, they should have what it takes to fend off any challengers.
At the top of our Dota 2 TI power rankings, TI is their tournament to lose – we’re hoping the pressure doesn’t get to them.
Xtreme Gaming – China’s Back
European teams have taken over Dota tournaments this year, leaving most Chinese teams in the dust – but not Xtreme Gaming.
After a flurry of roster changes in 2023, Xtreme Gaming forged a well-oiled machine hungry for Dota 2 action. All season long, they’ve competed with the best of the best, winning the Elite League Season 1 and Games of the Future 2024.
Moreover, this team has no fear of any “super-team”, being one of the only sides to take off multiple series against Falcons, including a Grand Final victory. Also, winning the recent Clavision: Snow Ruyi, this team is in high spirits and is poised to ruin the European party at The International 2024.
The only thing holding this team back is a lack of experience at TI, with no former winners on this team, slightly lowering their Dota 2 TI betting odds.
