Since Gaimin Gladiators won last year's Esports World Cup in Dota 2, defeating Team Liquid in the grand final with a score of 3:0, the organizers most likely used images of the teams that won last year's event. For example, Aleksy “Aleksib” Virolainen became the face of the CS tab, and Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok is featured on the League of Legends page.

It is also worth noting that the victory at the Riyadh Masters 2024 secured the team a slot in this year's tournament, despite the decline in Gaimin Gladiators' results.

As a reminder, Arman “Malady” Orazbayev previously spoke about the problems with Gaimin Gladiators' gameplay after the release of patch 7.39 due to difficulties in adapting to the new meta.
