1win Series Dota 2 Summer Grand Finals
Team Spirit vs. Gaimin Gladiators 3-1
Both teams reached the grand finals without losing a single match. They each took the first seed in their groups with 2-0 records, earning spots in the upper brackets for the playoffs and overpowering their opponents 2-0 each to secure their places in the Grand Finals.
A fairly even laning stage gave the Gaimin Gladiators a slight advantage in the first match, but Team Spirit quickly turned the tables, securing a swift victory. Team Spirit struggled with their team fights and lacked the necessary back-line jumps. Gaimin Gladiators sustained through the laning stage and then thrived, evening the score to 1-1.
In the third match, Team Spirit reclaimed the series lead with a dominant performance by Chaos Knight. A 19k gold lead was overturned in a single moment, dashing GG's chances at victory.
The fourth game was exceptionally clean for Team Spirit, but not so much for the Gaimin Gladiators. Without vision, GG made a crucial error in attempting to take Roshan and were heavily punished for it.
