The lower bracket final between Gaimin Gladiators and Tundra Esports will be the first match of the final day of The International 2024. The match is scheduled for 15 September, 11:00 EEST. We analysed the statistics of both teams and made a prediction on the outcome of the upcoming match.
Current form
The team that is among the top 3 favourites at this year's Aegis of Champions. Gaimin Gladiators, finalists of TI 12. The guys came to this tournament in great form having previously won the Riyadh Masters 2024. They already played a day ago against Tundra and easily defeated them with a score of 2:0. After losing to Team Liquid in the match for a slot in the grand final, these guys are definitely motivated to take revenge and will be thinking only about them.
These teams met a day ago and the revenge will be fierce. While Gladiators fought Liquid, Tundra crushed Falcons. These guys definitely want to prove that that defeat was just a one-time mistake. And GG will only think about Liquid.
Personal Meetings
The last match between the teams was played a day ago at The International 2024, where Gaimin Gladiators won with a score of 2:0.
Most popular heroes
Just before the start of TI, Valve changed the goal quite significantly, which led to the fact that the tournament has heroes that are either selected or banned. For example, Mirana, Luna
The main fans of meta and broken heroes, GG. They once again confirmed this status by choosing both Mirana and other meth heroes. The most interesting was Dragon Knight in mid, where Quinn showed a real masterclass. Also worth noting is Seleri's excellent play as Chen. In general, these statistics show the main heroes that you should expect in the GG draft.
| Hero | Picks | Win % | Bans | Win % | Combined | Win % | Radiant % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mirana | 3 | 33.33% | 3 | 100.00% | 6 | 66.67% | 66.67% |

| Sand King | 1 | 100.00% | 4 | 50.00% | 5 | 60.00% | 100.00% |
| Sniper | 1 | 100.00% | - | - | 1 | 100.00% | - |
The most interesting pick in the match against Falcons from Tundra was the contender for 3 Aegis, Topson, who chose Viper. We don't often see this hero in this objective. Also, the Sniper from the same Topson looked super powerful. There is a feeling that the game will be built on the Tundra mid, and if he can overcome Quinn, Tundra will have a very good chance of winning. The rest of the Tundra players didn't change their preferences much from the previous matches.

Prediction from Bo3.gg
The lower bracket final between Gaimin Gladiators and Tundra Esports promises to be not only an exciting confrontation, but also the last chance for both teams to reach the grand final of The International 2024. The winner of this series will meet Team Liquid, who are already waiting for their opponent after defeating GG in the top bracket, forcing them to play an extra match. Gaimin Gladiators, who were defeated by Liquid, will be focused on a possible revenge in the grand final. Having lost the chance to reach the final the first time around, GG will be more motivated to bring their best game and focus on their goal of returning to the final and trying to fight for the title again. Their experience and advantage in lane games remain key factors of success, allowing them to seize the initiative and force their opponents into critical mistakes. We expect Tundra Esports to be able to pick up one map by demonstrating their strength in drafting and strategy. However, given GG's level of play and their unrivalled ability to dictate the pace at crucial moments, our prediction is a 2-1 win for Gaimin Gladiators. This series is likely to follow the scenario of previous games between these teams, where GG proved their superiority.
The International 2024 takes place from 4 to 15 September in the Danish capital Copenhagen. Currently, the teams are competing for a prize pool of $2.5 million. Follow all the interesting moments of this match and the entire tournament with us.
