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

Just days ago, Gaimin Gladiators looked positioned for a dominant stretch. The team had what appeared to be a perfect read on the meta at PGL Wallachia Season 5, which translated into a six-match winning streak where it lost just one map en route to the grand finals. It’s been all downhill since then, though.

BetBoom Team took a strong 3-1 win over Gaimin Gladiators to take first place in PGL Wallachia Season 5. From there, GG made the quick turnaround to compete in Fissure Universe Episode 5 and crashed out of the group stage with a 2-6 record.

That’s bad news for Gaimin Gladiators heading into the Esports World Cup. While the team remains talented and strong on paper, good meta reads only translate to a short spurt of success before other teams catch up. And if Gaimin Gladiators isn’t playing at a high level as a unit, that’s rough.

And of course, even if everything was going great for GG, BetBoom Team is a difficult opponent. All this speaks to a rough opening match for Gaimin. The only question is how rough.
