Gaimin Gladiators won ESEA Cash Cup: North America – Spring 2022 #2 and added another title in the third Cash Cup at the start of the month, but besides those two titles, they have not achieved much. Even in the ESL Challenger League, the Gladiators have yet to show anything remarkable, with a narrow 2-0 victory against Unjustified and a 1-2 defeat against ATK (22-20, 7-16, 7-6).
It’s tough justifying a bet on Gaimin Gladiators to upset paiN Gaming, who are one of the top Brazilian CS:GO esports teams. And that tells a lot, considering the Brazilian scene is currently in a very good spot.
PaiN and Gladiators last met during Ace North American Masters Spring 2022, where paiN won 16-12. But paiN have since looked much better and even won BLAST Premier Spring American Showdown 2022 two weeks back, suggesting they should defeat Gaimin Gladiators with a bit more to spare this time.
paiN Gaming -10.5 rounds

GODSENT and ATK have met twice since March. ATK won the first match 16-10, while GODSET secured a revenge win during IEM Dallas qualifiers with 2-0. Since then, GODSENT have played eight games and lost half of them, albeit against Complexity (twice), FURIA, and paiN Gaming.
Over the same stretch, ATK have played nine games and won just three against Detonate, BHOP Esports, and Gaimin Gladiators. Of the three wins, the one against the Gladiators is the most noteworthy, yet even that victory is hardly impressive.
ATK gave us nothing to be excited about, and that’s a problem knowing that GODSENT were one of the top-performing teams at IEM Dallas qualifiers, with wins against squads significantly stronger than ATK. As the latest CS:GO betting odds suggest, GODSENT should win with ease, and there is little to suggest they won’t.
