Team Liquid vs Gaimin Gladiators Dota 2 TI12 Lower Bracket Quarterfinals overview and predictions

Team Liquid had an impressive Dota 2 TI12 campaign as they dominated Group B, finishing the group stage with a 7-1 record. The team drew the Bo2 series against Azure but managed to clean-sweep BetBoom, Shopify Rebellion, and Thunder Awaken. They advanced to the Upper Bracket after a convincing victory against Evil Geniuses in the deciding Bo3 playoffs series.

In the Upper Bracket Quarterfinals, the blue team defeated Talon Esports 2-0 and advanced to the UB Semifinals to face Team Spirit. However, the TI10 champions narrowly defeated Team Liquid in a close 2-1 series, sending them to the Lower Bracket Quarterfinals.

Gaimin Gladiator's TI12 run started in a similar fashion as they managed to secure second place in Group C. GG lost a Bo2 series against LGD Gaming and drew one with nouns. However, they managed to route Virtus.pro and Beastcoast, which meant they were safe from group-stage elimination.

Surprisingly, GG dropped to the Lower Bracket after getting battered by Talon Esports. However, in their Lower Bracket journey, the two-time Major winners proved to be formidable as they clean-sweeped Evil Geniuses and 9Pandas to advance to the LB Quarterfinals.

Team Liquid and GG share a rivalry. However, due to Team Liquid's supremacy and consistency in the group stage, they have the upper hand in their upcoming fixture. However, GG's drafting style and potential to turn the tide might pose a challenge for Team Liquid.

Additionally, if GG can prevent Zai and Nisha from securing early kills, they stand a good chance of defeating Team Liquid. On the other hand, if the Team Liquid players stick together and win teamfights, it can help them overwhelm GG and force them to change their game plan.

The winning team will advance to the Dota 2 TI12 Lower Bracket Semifinals.
