Dota 2 continues to entertain fans worldwide with its new season, which brings the open competitive circuit back into play.
The game boasts numerous third-party events, including the Valve-sanctioned Majors, exciting teams, and electrifying competition.
As we look into 2024, several Dota 2 teams stand out with the potential to win major tournaments. Today, we explore the top 3 Dota 2 teams to look out for in 2024:
Team Falcons has taken the Dota 2 world by storm. The MENA-based organization, after its inception in 2022, stormed the competitive circuit in 2024 by assembling a star-studded team, making its intentions very clear. Needless to say, the amount of money spent assembling a roster of this kind cannot be estimated.
This young team, comprised of TI winners and veterans but with a low average age, has quickly risen through the ranks with an aggressive playstyle and exceptional synergy.
Their impressive wins at BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024 and DreamLeague Season 22 have cemented their position as a top contender, especially for the upcoming Majors and the $5 million Riyadh Masters 2024.
With their hunger for success and ever-evolving strategies, Team Falcons are a force to be reckoned with.
The TI10 and TI12 champions, Team Spirit, are back with a vengeance to prove their critics wrong once again.
Team Spirit is a beast of its kind. This Dota 2 team, hailing from Eastern Europe, has made huge strides in Dota 2 in the past few years.
Their dramatic victory over PSG.LGD in 2021 to claim their maiden TI victory, to bombing out at TI11, and finally going crazy as TI12 neared, with their iconic “peaking near TI” form.
They remain a formidable force; however, their current form is nowhere close to the peak - it must be because they want to only “peak out” at the more important tournaments.
Needless to say, Team Spirit’s roster has all the necessary ingredients - experience, unwavering determination, energy, and strategic flexibility - to make them a serious threat in the competitive Dota 2 landscape.
The only question is: Can they successfully defend their throne in 2024? Undoubtedly, they are one of the top three Dota 2 teams to watch in 2024.
Gaimin Gladiators, true to its name, is a bastion of strength in the competitive circuit and one of the top 3 Dota 2 teams to look out for in 2024. Renowned for their strategic prowess, consistent performance and unshakeable mental fortitude, the Western European team has won the hearts of the community.
They consistently place highly in major tournaments, especially because they won five Tier 1 tournaments in a row in 2023 and placed second at TI12. However, they lost to Team Spirit in a whitewash in the grand finals.
Their adaptability across various patches makes them a nightmare for opponents. Like Team Spirit, Gaimin Gladiators’ 2024 started on a lacklustre note, but they show strong signs of a comeback.
The existing roster is filled with veterans and young blood, which puts Gaimin Gladiators in a unique position to change its fortune and put in a prime position to outplay and outlast any competitor.
