nouns vs Gaimin Gladiators Dota 2 TI12 Lower Bracket Round 3 overview and predictions

During the group stage, nouns barely avoided elimination, securing fourth place in Group C. Furthermore, they drew the Bo2 series against Gaimin Gladiators, Beastcoast, and Virtus.pro. They dropped down the table as they got wiped by LGD Gaming.

However, in a surprising turn of events nouns clean-sweeped the reigning TI11 champions, Tundra Esports and sent them to the Lower Bracket. With this newfound momentum, they got an Upper Bracket slot against Azure Ray. The Chinese team relegated nouns to the Lower Bracket Round 2. The North Americans then eliminated TSM and advanced to the Lower Bracket Round 3.

Gaimin Gladiators, the two-time Major winners, had an impressive group stage run compared to nouns. GG lost the Bo2 series against LGD Gaming but went on to secure victories against Virtus.pro and Beastcoast. As previously mentioned, GG had a draw in their matchup against nouns.

Gaimin Gladiators faced the SEA powerhouse, Talon Esports, in the decisive Bo3 game. GG lost the series and was subsequently relegated to the Lower Bracket Round 1. They eliminated GG and 9Pandas without dropping a single game and qualified for the Lower Bracket Round 3.

GG clearly stands out as a strong team in Bo3 matches, showcasing their synergy and drafting style, which can easily overwhelm their North American opponents. However, look out for nouns' unusual hero picks, as they may outplay GG's game plan. Despite this, GG's consistent form can help them eliminate nouns in Dota 2 TI12.

The winning team will advance to Dota 2 The International 2023 Lower Bracket Quarterfinals.
