Team Spirit came second in the Dota 2 Fall 1v1 Series, losing to Team Liquid 3-0 in the end. On their way to the final match, the team beat Gaimin Gladiators (2-0) and are pr🔯eparing to face them again at the start of BLAST Slam I. The Dragons are among the tournament favorites and are tipped for a top 3 finish. The team decided to make a few changes to the roster after the performance at The International 2024, whe♔re Team Spirit came in 9-12th place. Ilya 'Yatoro' Mulyarchuk and Miroslav 'Mira' Kolpakov have stepped back from playing for now and have been replaced by two newcomers: the support rue, who started in 2023, and 16-year-old carry Satanic, who has an impressive 13,000 MMR and is the youngest player with such an indicator. Magomed 'Collapse' Khalilov has also stepped away from the team, with Abdimalik 'Malik' Sailau taking over until January 2025.

The new lineup has settled in well and is making good progress. After qualifying for major tournaments and finishing third in the DreamLeague Season 24 playoꦑffs, the team improved their performance at BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024, where they finished fourth. The performance at the 1win Series Do𓆏ta 2 Fall was a big step forward for the Dragons. They made it to the Grand Finals for the first time with a new squad, showing steady growth and chemistry.

Gaimin Gladiators finished third place at the 1win Series Dota 2 Fall tournament. In the semifinals, they were beaten by Team Spirit (0-2), who they will play again in the group stage of BLAST Slam I. In the match for third place, the Gladiators surprisingly de𝕴feated PARIVISION (2:0). After coming second at The International 2024, the team announced that Anton 'dyrachyo' Shkredov would be replaced by Alimzhan 'watson' Islambekov. The Kazakh player, who was with Entity for two years, is joining the Gladiators roster. Watson, who started in 2013 and is known for his performances for B8 under Danil 'Dendi' Ishutin, became the centerpiece of the revamped squad, but his arrival didn't bring immediate success.

Since dyrachyo left, the Gladiators' results have worsened. The team came in 7th-8th at BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024, 9th-10th at DreamLeague Season 24, and didn't qualify for ESL One Bangkok 2024. The Gladiators did well at the 1win Series Dota 2 Fall, making it through to the next stage🅺, but their overall performance shows that they need to make some changes and adapt better to their new li⛄neup. The team is going through a rough patch, trying to get out of the slump after replacing a key player.

Bookmakers favor the Dragons, but not by a big margin. The Gladiators can prepare to fight their op🦂ponents, but judging by the last match, it will be tough to dream of victory.
