Progressing through the Upper Bracket of the tournament without losing a single game, Gaimin Gladiators' was still the under-dog, having never played in a final before and playing one of the highest ranked teams in competition. The Gaimin Gladiators team achieved this win in one of the quickest ever times for a final resoundingly beating Team Liquid to lift the first Major trophy of the season.

This success is even more significant for Gaimin Gladiators. The DOTA2 team was only formed at the start of 2022, and quickly achieved success qualifying for TI 11 in Singapore last October. Following a change to the roster in 2023, Quinn joined as a player and CY was appointed coach. This change in coaching style, combined with the roster change rejuvenated the team and saw them progress through to the Lima Major, the first Major of the 2023 DOTA Pro Circuit season and the first to be held in South America.

Martin Speight, CEO of GAIMIN (www.Gaimin.gg) parent company of Gaimin Gladiators stated,"Our involvement in esports and Gaimin Gladiators is fully justified by this win. The players have achieved considerable success in a short space of time, and far quicker than we anticipated. I am delighted they are part of the GAIMIN business representing GAIMIN in the esports arena and to their followers. We look forward to their qualification for the upcoming Berlin and Bali Majors later this year, and their qualification for TI later."

Joseph Turner, General Manager for Gaimin Gladiators stated, "I am delighted for this team and their success. They worked hard last year to reach TI and following the roster and coaching changes, we fully expected them to do well in the Lima Major. Winning the competition was the icing on the cake! I am delighted for the team, the support staff with them in Lima, the support back home and the unwavering support of our sponsors!" 

Martin added, "Prior to the Lima Major, GAIMIN launched a range of limited collectable digital assets to commemorate participation by the team at the Lima Major. With this win, these will become very much more collectable and sought after. There are still some available and they can be claimed by downloading the GAIMIN app from www.gaimin.gg"
