Head to Head

These two teams have never met before.

Gaimin Gladiators Form

Gaimin Gladiators have yet to win a tournament this year, but they came close earlier this month with a top-four finish at CCT Season 2 European Series #11. Shortly after, however, they crashed out of ESL Challenger Katowice 2024: European Open Qualifier in ninth-16th-place, which is not the best look.

Their form does not make things any better as GG are 2-3 from their last five and on a three-game losing streak. Those include losses against Apogee (9-13), Passion UA (1-2), and Nexus Gaming (0-2) which aren't the strongest CS esports teams.

On a more positive note, Gaimin Gladiators have a somewhat solid map pool, with a +57% win rate on three of the seven maps. While this is still far from perfect, they have an edge on Inferno.

Johnny Speeds Form

Johnny Speeds haven't looked the best since July; however, they found some success lately, with a top-eight finish at Elisa Invitational Fall 2024 and a bronze medal from FASTCUP: CSGORUN Cup Season 1. They did cool down a bit since early August though.

Form-wise, Johnny Speeds are not in a very good spot. While they won six games in a row last week, they are 1-4 from their last five with losses against 9INE, Nemiga, Lazer, and Into the Breach. In their most recent outing, Johnny Speeds defeated ARCRED which is not super exciting, but at least a good sign.

Despite showing very little in their recent outings, Johnny Speeds have a solid map pool, with a +62% win rate on Dust2, Mirage, and Ancient and a 55% win rate on Nuke.

Verdict

Gaimin Gladiators v Johnny Speeds

It is not easy to differentiate between the two sides here, especially considering neither have shown a lot of late. Johnny Speeds did have higher highs this season, which is a plus, and their map pool is stronger, so there are reasons to believe Johnny Speeds should do well.
