Gaimin Gladiators are predicted to win The International 2024 due to a significant advantage

Gaimin Gladiators have an advantage over their rivals at The International 2024, as the aura meta in Dota 2 has not been significantly nerfed, and it was this feature that helped the team win Riyadh Masters earlier this year.

This statement was made by esports player Alexander “Immersion” Khmelevskoy during a Twitch stream.

“Did they fix auras? I wouldn’t say so. They nerfed them a bit. I think Gaimin Gladiators could be contenders for first place. The problem is that everyone understands the essence of auras, but only the Gladiators can use them perfectly”

According to him, although Valve has made some adjustments to auras, they were only slightly nerfed, and GG remains masters of utilizing auras and tempo gameplay, which makes them strong contenders for the championship this year.

“You build an aura, it should work for all five. Gaimin Gladiators are such a fast and tempo team; they understand each other very well. The players quickly converge at the same point on the map, which other teams don’t do. Auras fit their gameplay perfectly. They’ve been playing Dota like this their whole lives”

Immersion believes that Anton “Dyrachyo” Shkredov’s team has a significant advantage due to the current state of Dota 2, as other teams simply cannot utilize the aura meta as effectively, even though they are trying.
