Mouz is the first team to be eliminated from the group stage of the Dota 2 Riyadh Masters 2024 on the penultimate day with only a single win to their name.
The competition is getting heated with a four-way tie for 1st place in Group A and the majority of the teams from Group B already advancing to the upper bracket of the playoffs. In the meantime, multiple teams are hanging on by a thin thread to stay alive at the event. Let’s find out how the penultimate day folded:
Group A’s monicker of being the group of death is apt given the current team standings at the Riyadh Masters 2024 group stage. Gaimin Gladiators, OG, Team Falcons and Team Spirit are tied for 1st place at the end of Day 4, nearly securing themselves a seed in the upper bracket of the playoffs.
Aurora sits in fifth while Heroic and LGD Gaming share the sixth spot. Blacklist International sits in last place and is most likely eliminated. However, the most interesting case will be for Heroic and LGD Gaming who share the sixth spot. Both teams must secure a clean 2:0 victory to avoid elimination and ensure qualifying for the playoffs while depending on Aurora’s series outcome.
Anything can happen and everything rests in the capable hands of the Dota 2 teams facing elimination. Which teams will secure their playoff spots?
Tundra Esports, Entity and Team Liquid have advanced to the upper bracket of the playoffs after securing a top-three finish at the Riyadh Masters 2024 group stage. The impending outcomes of their remaining series don’t hold any value on their inability to start in the upper bracket.
Xtreme Gaming sits comfortably in fourth place and will start in the upper bracket as well as the only Dota 2 team from China. Meanwhile, PSG Quest will start in the lower bracket of the playoffs followed by the BetBoom team in the 5th and 6th place respectively.
Beastcoast occupy the 7th place and is most likely to face elimination, however, the outcome depends on them winning the last series with a 2:0 margin and hoping BetBoom loses with a 0:2 margin. On the other hand, Mouz is eliminated after a dismal performance in the group stage, securing only a single game win to their name.
The final day of the Riyadh Masters group stage concludes with a decisive showdown that will shape the playoff landscape. The best Dota 2 teams in the world will inch closer to lifting the coveted trophy and winning the lion’s share of the $5,000,000 prize pool.
