The match between Tundra Esports and Gaimin Gladiators will be the last one on the first day of the main stage of The International 2024. The match is scheduled for 13 September, 20:00 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 shape having previously won the Riyadh Masters 2024. They finished the group stage quite well, only the toothless defeat against Xtreme surprised the community, but GG quickly corrected their mistakes and did not experience any more problems on the way to the Royal Arena.

The tag that had already been raised by the cherished Aegis of Champions, Tundra Esports, will be playing against them. Since then, the team's composition has changed a lot. Tundra's biggest problem was 9Class, who was unable to get a visa to Copenhagen in time, so Tundra had to take Saksa in his place. No one knew how they would perform with the replacement, but they surprised everyone. The guys didn't lose a single match in the group stage, they just gave everyone one card. But in the playoffs, they tore apart everyone who came their way, including one of the favourites Falcons.

Personal meetings

The last match between the teams was played at Dreamleague Season 23 2024, where Gaimin Gladiators won with a score of 2:0, and a month ago Tundra defeated GG with a score of 2:0 at ESL One Birmingham 2024.

The most popular heroes

Just before the start of TI, Valve changed the goal quite significantly, which led to the fact that the tournament is attended by heroes who are either selected or banned. For example, Mirana, Luna.

The main fans of meta and broken characters, GG. In the first lines, we immediately see Shadow Demon, Windranger. To a greater extent, it is thanks to Dyrachyo and his WR that Gaimin Gladiators pull out dead games that are brought to such a state by themselves. Also the signature hero of Ace, Broodmother. I wonder what bans Tundra will prioritise?

Invoker comes to mind immediately. If you've been following Tundra's matches, you've seen how scary Topson looks when he gets his hands on this hero. It is also important to note Pure and his Mirana and Luna. When they both get their comfortable heroes to play against Tundra, it becomes extremely difficult. Another interesting thing is Marci's peak, not everyone is ready to choose her in the current meta.

Prediction from Bo3.gg

The match between Tundra Esports and Gaimin Gladiators promises to be a real challenge for both teams. Both teams are at the peak of their form, demonstrating extraordinary individual skills and excellent teamwork. Tundra Esports has been performing strongly, leveraging the strengths of their macro game and flexibility in their drafts. They are very good at adapting to their opponents, changing strategies right during the series, which gives them the ability to compete successfully with any team. However, Gaimin Gladiators are also at the peak of their form. GG demonstrate incredible strength in lite games, which allows them to implement complex strategies and defeat their opponents when everything seems to be decided. Their ability to impose their own pace of play and force opponents to make mistakes is a key weapon in their arsenal. You shouldn't expect less than three cards in this match. However, given the overall stability and advantage in the final stages of the game, our prediction is a 2-1 victory for Gaimin Gladiators.

The International 2024 takes place from 4 to 15 September in the Danish capital Copenhagen. At the moment, 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.
