Gaimin Gladiators fall as multiple Dota 2 underdogs make a stand at TI 2023
With the group stage completed, only 16 teams remain at The International 2023. But removing some of the weaker teams only led to stronger competition as multiple top seeds, including the arguable tournament favorites in Gaimin Gladiators, have already fallen as players fight for playoff seeding.
While it was the final series of the day, Talon Esports’ 2-1 upset over Gaimin has the biggest implications for the rest of TI12 out of phase two’s opening lineup.
