Gaimin Gladiators vs Aurora Prediction: Reigning Champ Will Win Again

Prediction for the BetBoom Dacha Dubai match which will take place on February 5th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

After the sensational defeat in the final of ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023, we have not seen Gaimin Gladiators play anywhere else. Since that dramatic outcome, a month and a half has passed, which did not weaken the team, but on the contrary - gave them time to recover. Victories in all majors of 2023 and some Dreamleagues were replaced by defeats in the TI and ESL One Kuala Lumpur grand finals. While GG's failure in the TI final was no surprise, Azure Ray's 2-0 comeback in the ESL One Kuala Lumpur final was. The team came to Dubai to win, as this squad won the last BetBoom Dacha. In the tournament's first game, they destroyed old acquaintances from Team Liquid, who showed a disgusting performance, or the Gladiators arrived in some incredible tonus. But the form of the GG players will be revealed in a few days of matches in the group stage.

The Serbian team Aurora came to Dota 2 via Southeast Asia and snatched up the region's best roster for 2023, Talon Esports. Aurora signed the entire Talon roster except for Mikoto, who joined Bleed Esports. In his place, 23savage, Jabz, Q, and Oli invited Armel from Team Secret. The squad was the most-paid team in the Asian region in 2023 and fourth in the world in Dota 2, but things did not go well in the new season. Their first appearance in 2024 was the qualification for the DreamLeague Season 22, which the Aurora players hardly won, almost losing in the final to Team Darleng (3-2). But that final was the first sign of failure for the team, as they failed to Neon Esports (1-2) and then to Execration (1-2) in the qualifiers for ESL One Birmingham 2024. The Asians were directly invited to the BetBoom Dacha tournament, but their playing form now raises many questions. The first match of the Asian team at BetBoom Dacha was against Virtus.pro. On the first map, the team of the 23rd was simply destroyed, but in the second, there was an answer. We can see that the new coach, SunBhie, is already adjusting the game of his new charges.

The bookmakers believe in the success of the Gaimin Gladiators, and it's no wonder, as the Asians are very unstable at the beginning of this year.
