Team Spirit vs Gaimin Gladiators – Overview
Gaimin Gladiators was one of those Dota 2 teams that dominated everyone in 2023. It was the best team in the world for more than one year, but the truth is that the squad is not as good as it once was. Nowadays, the team often has top 5 finishes while playing, but it has been a while since it won any big Dota 2 events.
As for Team Spirit, the Western European powerhouse is as strong as it once was and continues to achieve impressive results. After winning DreamLeague Season 25, Team Spirit finished 2nd at ESL One Raleigh 2025. This puts the team in an excellent position against GG.

Team Spirit vs Gaimin Gladiators Prediction
An important thing to remember about this and all of the other BLAST Slam 3 series is that they will be in a Bo1 format. This is one of the most unpredictable formats in Dota 2, especially when the two teams facing each other are evenly matched.
Having said that, in the Team Spirit vs Gaimin Gladiators series, we at Blix.gg believe that TS will win the clash. There is no arguing that the Eastern Europeans are the better team right now, and they are in a pretty good form overall. GG can definitely upset their opponents, but we believe that TS will be better in this series.
With that said, the odds for both Dota 2 teams will probably be high because the Bo1 matches are incredibly difficult to predict.
