The wait is over! The complete team lineup for the highly anticipated Riyadh Masters 2024 Group Stage is set with the conclusion of the Play-In stage. Sixteen of the best Dota 2 teams will compete in the group stage for a staggering $5 million prize pool.
Mouz and LGD Gaming are the last two Dota 2 teams to advance to the playoffs of the Riyadh Masters 2024 after defeating Virtus Pro and Nouns, respectively, in the eliminator on the final day of the Play-In stage.
Mouz put up a splendid show against VP in straight games and sent the EEU team flying out of the tournament. Mouz showed exemplary discipline and outplayed VP despite trailing in gold and experience in both games.
Meanwhile, LGD Gaming left no chance for Nouns to mount a comeback in the final elimination series of the Play-In stage. The second game, in particular, was exceptional with over 90 minutes of nail-biting gameplay. The Chinese team came in hot to subdue the North Americans in a thrilling series after eliminating their fellow countrymen, G2.iG, a day earlier in the tie-breakers.
