2025 has been a non-stop year of Dota 2 and top-tier teams feel that more than most. While fan exhaustion is a real phenomenon, it’s the pro players who are constantly practicing and globe-trotting for many of these events. But with a direct invitation to The International 2025 and the Esports World Cup already in its pocket, Gaimin Gladiators had the chance to reset and seemingly made the most of it.

Gaimin Gladiators vs Team Liquid in-depth team, match analysis

Gaimin Gladiators still has the look and feel of an elite Dota 2 team, but that hasn’t necessarily been backed up by results. While back-to-back grand finals in The Internationals and a few other prominent wins have kept the team’s legitimacy intact, GG’s overall record hasn’t been particularly great.

None of this is to say that Gaimin Gladiators is bad; the top tier of Dota 2 esports is quite competitive at the moment. The team just hasn’t really looked particularly scary. Until now, that is.

Gaimin Gladiators is on a five-match winning streak in PGL Wallachia, a feat the team hasn’t actually achieved since The International 2023. That has come against some generally strong competition and more importantly, the team has pulled it off while playing its own style of Dota 2. From beating the “ratting rats” of Tundra Esports to a Phantom Lancer slam dunk against Xtreme Gaming, the team has arguably put on its best showing of 2025 thus far..

Team Liquid got a surprise glow-up during the group stage with Tobias “Tobi” Buchner standing in for Aydin “Insania” Sarkohi. His performance drew major praise from Liquid but the team has still looked very good even with Insania back in charge.

Still, Gaimin is playing at a high level individually and seems to have the best read on the meta in 7.39c. That should translate to success, at least in the short term.

Hero picks and bans

Quinn “Quinn” Callahan on Storm Spirit and Marcus “Ace” Christensen on Centaur Warrunner have been harbingers of success for Gaimin Gladiators, though Centaur hasn’t been much of a factor in Wallachia.
Michał “Nisha” Jankowski’s Ember Spirit and Michael “miCKe” Vu’s Templar Assassin are something to look out for.
Shadow Shaman and Dark Willow have been the most-picked heroes of the tournament, but Puck has arguably been the best hero, winning 63% of its 27 games in PGL Wallachia Season 5.
