Gaimin Gladiators' Dominance Continues: BetBoom Eliminated From Riyadh Masters 2023

Gaimin Gladiators, the unstoppable force in the 2023 Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) season, having conquered every Tier-1 tournament, including three consecutive Majors, entered the prestigious Riyadh Masters 2023 with their eyes set on the massive $15,000,000 prize pool and another championship.

After losing a surprising upper-bracket match against Team Liquid, the Gladiators found themselves in the lower bracket only one loss away from elimination. Undeterred, they showcased their ability as the 2023 DPC champions, winning their series against BetBoom team in a closely contested BO3.

Overcoming lower bracket teams

In their second lower bracket series, the Gladiators faced Quest Esports, a rising powerhouse from Western Europe (WEU) who topped the Group Stages of the event. However, the Gladiators showed no mercy and asserted their dominance in the series.

After securing a victory against Quest Esports, the Gaimin Gladiators faced another formidable opponent, BetBoom, who had been one of the dark horses with high expectations in the tournament. The series against the Eastern European (EEU) team proved to be a hard-fought battle, stretching to three intense games, but in the end, the Gladiators emerged victorious, claiming the series with a 2-1 scoreline.

While both teams managed to win one game each, it was Game 3 that truly showcased the strength of the two teams. Gaimin Gladiators demonstrated why they had been dominating the 2023 DPC season, consistently triumphing in various tournaments. Despite facing BetBoom's strategies head-on, the Gladiators eventually outplayed their opponents to secure a decisive victory in the crucial Game 3.

The team will now await the winners of the Talon Esports and 9Pandas match in the Lower Bracket Semi Finals. The stakes in this match are incredibly high, with over $1 Million USD in prize money on the line.
