The Dota 2 world is on the edge of its seat as the grand finale of The International 13 (TI13) is set to take place today. For the first time in years, the final promises an epic showdown between two titans: Team Liquid and Gaimin Gladiators.
This year’s TI has seen a level of parity unprecedented in recent years, with the top teams consistently challenging each other. Both Liquid and Gaimin have earned their place in the final through impressive displays of skill and strategy.
Team Liquid, a perennial contender, has never reached a TI final before. This roster has a history of close calls, consistently falling short in major events. However, they have showcased incredible form throughout TI13, defeating top teams like Xtreme Gaming and Cloud9. A victory would be a historic achievement and a testament to their resilience.
Gaimin Gladiators, on the other hand, are the reigning champions of Riyadh Masters and considered the best team in the world. Despite falling just short of TI victory last year, they remain a formidable force. This year, they are looking to claim both the Riyadh Masters and TI titles, cementing their dominance.
The rivalry between the two teams runs deep. Gaimin has consistently triumphed over Liquid in past grand finals. However, Liquid did manage to secure a 2-0 victory over Gaimin in the TI13 upper bracket finals.
The final is set to be a nail-biting clash. Both teams have the potential to claim the Aegis of Champions and the $1 million prize. The Dota 2 community is eager to witness this epic clash of titans and find out who will ultimately be crowned world champions.
