DreamLeague Season 23Welcome to EGamersWorld.
No sooner had the finals of PGL Wallachia Season 1 died down than the next big tournament - DreamLeague Season 23 - is already getting ready for the Long Segment. The group stage starts today.
And it starts with some pretty cool matches, such as Gaimin Gladiators and PSG Quest. The format of the match, as before on DreamLeague - bo2.
We're trying to see if any of the teams will be able to earn a clean win or if everything will end in a draw.
Let's go.
PSG Quest Form.
Let's open the match analysis with PSG Quest's form. In this match they will play the number one with odds to win at around 2.3.
Quest Esports have been one of the biggest revelations of the season. They started their rise to the top with a top-5 finish at DPC 2023: WEU Upper Division Tour 2. The team fell one map short of reaching the Berlin Major 2023, but not enough.
In the third round of DPC 2023: WEU Tour 3 the team again showed a top game and that time they had enough. It was enough for the top 3 of the tournament, and as a result, they made it to The Bali Major 2023.
- Quest Esports roster: TA2000, No!ob, Malik, OmaR, Dukalis
In the course of the Bali Major 2023 Quest Esports showed that they did not come there to rest. The team finished top-1 in their group and then went on to play in the top set of play-offs. In the end, Quest's jaunt through The Bali Major 2023 ended with them in 4th place.
Having travelled to the Riyadh Masters 2023 with a replacement in the lineup, Quest Esports did not lose their overall team score. In their Play-In group the team took a confident first place, losing only 1 match out of 5.
The group stage of the Saudi tournament also proved to be no match for Quest. Residents of Western Europe confidently took the top 1 in Group A, thereby guaranteeing themselves passage to the top grid play-offs. But the main stage did not start the way the European club would have liked. In a tense game against Talon TA2000 and Ledge were defeated 1-2.
In the first round of the lower grid, Quest played against PSG.LGD. They did not feel the Chinese - they won 2-0.
And then Quest Esports met with Gaimin Gladiators. The three-time Major champions defeated Quest on class with the score 2-0.
After Riyadh Masters 2023 Quest Esports played at the qualifiers for The International 2023. They managed to finish in the top 2, which allowed them to qualify for the main tournament of the year.
PSG Quest played at The International 2023, where they performed "so-so". PSG Quest finished in the top 12 at the main tournament of the year.
In 2024, PSG Quest tried desperately to beat Falcons at all kinds of qualifiers, but failed to do so: at the qualifiers for Dacha Dubai, DL Season 22 and ESL One Birmingham 2024 they finished in the top 2. There was also an attempt to qualify for PGL Wallachia Season 1, but they were already Top 6, as they tried to go through Western Europe.
Before playing at DL Season 23, they played at Elite League, where they finished in the Top 6.

Gaimin Gladiators uniforms
We continue our match breakdown with an analysis of GG's match form. In this match, they will play the number two with odds to win around 5.2.
At the DPC 2023 Tour 1 WEU Division 1, the team took the top 2, which opened the way for them to The Lima Major 2023. The first Major season of the tournament was a trailblazing triumph for the Gladiators. Gaimin Gladiators won the tournament without losing a single map in the championship play-offs.
The next DPC cycle in the home league ended even worse than the previous one. Then GG lost to tiebreaker for the top 2, but more than compensated for the failure with a performance on the international stage. Even twice.
On the eve of Long Copega DPC 2023: Tour 3, GG took the championship in two international arenas. They won the $1,000,000 DreamLeague S19 and The Berlin Major 2023, defending their status.
In the third round of the domestic league, Gaimin Gladiators were expectedly one of the top contenders to win the league, but failed to get the regional championship. At the end of DPC 2023: WEU Tour 3 GG took 2nd place, but they made it to the Major, and that's the main thing.
- Gaimin Gladiators lineup: dyrachyo, Quinn, Ace, tOfu, Seleri.
There was also DreamLeague Season 20, where in the first group stage GG felt like they played half-heartedly. Nevertheless, they made it to the next stage and then won the grand final.
After winning DreamLeague Season 20, Gaimin Gladiators won another title. This time it was the Major a Champions Cup again. At Bali Major 2023, GG were once again beaten by Team Liquid in the grand finals.
GG had high chances to finish all the big tournaments of the year with victories, but at Riyadh Masters 2023 they were unlucky. In the first round of play-offs "gladiators" fell to the lower play-offs grid, where at the stage of TOP-4 Ledge or Talon Esports and left the championship.
Before The International 2023, GG visited DreamLeague Season 21. There they showed not the best performance, having played the championship at the TOP-8 stage. After The International 2023, GG performed well, despite losing the TI 2023 Grand Final against Team Spirit. Next, GG had a top-2 finish at ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 and a top-6 finish at BB Dacha Dubai 2024.
Gaimin Gladiators made an appearance at DreamLeague Season 22, where they managed to finish in the top 5. Next up was the Elite League tournament, where they again finished in the top 6.
Before playing at PGL Wallachia Season 1, GG played at ESL One Birmingham 2024, where they finished in the top 12. At the Romanian tournament itself, GG entered the play-offs with a 3-1 record.
In the first round of the PGL Wallachia Season 1 playoffs, GG's opponent was Team Liquid. Despite having a nominal advantage, GG failed to take advantage of it and win: 2-1 in Liquid's favour. It seems that after losing to their historical rival GG were unable to recover, as they were demolished by BOOM in the next match, closing the series 2-0.
Most popular Gaimin Gladiators heroes
The most frequent pick was Rubick. The character has appeared in the GG pick 8 times and has an 87% win rate.

History of head-to-head meetings GG - PSG Quest
The last time the teams played each other was back in DL Season 21 and then GG won.
Predicted result of PSG Quest vs Gaimin Gladiators at DreamLeague Season 23
After GG's performance at PGL Wallachia Season 1, there is less and less faith in the once powerful tag. However, in a bo2 match, I'll still believe in GG's ability to pick up a card, which is what I'll bet on. But the risk is quite high.
Bottom line: +1.5 on GG.
Gaimin Gladiators is the 10th team of the world ranking. At the recent game events the organisation shows though good, but still not the most convincing result. Especially against the background of their performances in the 23rd year. At BB Dacha Dubai they could only get to the 6th line. DreamLeague Season 22 was a little better. As a result - 5th place. The same result was achieved at Elite League - 5th place. ESL One Birmingham 2024 turned out to be quite deplorable for the team. We took the last place, but to be fair, the fight was very hard. PGL Wallachia Season 1 was not satisfactory. Reached the 8th position.
PSG Quest - 8th team in the world ranking. I can't call the results at the qualifiers worthy, although they got into most of the tournaments. They failed to qualify for ESL One Birmingham 2024, losing in the finals to Falcons. They managed to qualify for DreamLeague Season 23, defeating Nigma Galaxy in the finals. There were no qualifications for PGL Wallachia Season 1 in the MENA region, so they had to play in Europe, from where they were safely eliminated from the 5th place. They received a direct invitation to the Elite League.
GG did not have the best PGL. In view of this I think that in this meeting to consider a better head start Quest.
I'm a prognosticator, that's what I do for a living. I devote all my time to it. No other interests.
I have been doing this for a long time and have achieved some success. To believe me or not - everyone's business. But why not give it a try? Maybe you like this kind of life!
Prediction: +1.5 PSG Quest!
