Liquid beat the Gaiming Gladiators for the first time in a long time
Liquid defeated the Gaimin Gladiators in the first division of the DPC Western Europe. This is the first loss of the season for dyrachyo and his team.
On the first map of the confrontation, Gaimin Gladiators picked Windranger for dyrachyo, and Liquid picked up Monkey King for Micke. The beginning of the meeting went on without an advantage for one of the teams. Only 27 minutes into the match, there was a fight over Roshan, from which the Gladiators emerged victorious. After taking the Aegis, the Gladiators led by nearly 10,000 gold, but even that didn't work out. The Liquid was able to successfully take a dash for a dash-2 tower on the middle line and kill their opponent even with the Aegis. The Gaimin Gladiators game fell apart. The next key fight was on the top line, where dyrachyo died right after the buyback and Liquid deservedly won on the first map.
With a margin of safety on the score, the Liquid decided to take a little risk on the second map and spiked a signature Lone Druid, this time for Nisha. This paid off, as they took full dominance from early on, and the Gladiators, in turn, couldn't respond. 32-5 on the score sheet and 2-0 on the maps in Liquid's favor.
