Riyadh Group Stage Day 2: Tundra Win Grudge Match Against Entity Gaming
Day 2 of the Riyadh Masters 2024 Group Stage has ended, with the day being mostly filled with Group B matches. Tundra Esports took down Entity in a grudge match, and WBG.XG took down the BetBoom Team in the highlight series of the day.
Group B Results
Fans were immediately treated with an anticipated series of potentially two of the best teams in the group: WBG.XG and the BetBoom Team. However, the Chinese did not slow down one bit and demolished the Eastern European giants in 33 and 29 minutes for a fast 2-0.
Meanwhile, Tundra Esports had a second date with Entity Gaming. Fishman and 9Class have some serious beef, with Entity coming out on top previously at the TI Qualifiers. However, Tundra could equalize the score by winning 2-0 after two close games.
Apparently, 9Class yelled a lot of trashtalk towards Fishman and was rumored to receive a fine. However, the teenager confirmed on his Telegram channel that he did not get fined.
Aside from a draw between Team Liquid and Tundra Esports, there weren’t too many interesting results in Group B.
Overall, Group B remains heavily contested, with the only outlier being MOUZ, who only have one victory.
Group A Results
Only one set of Best of 2 matches were played in Group A, so not much happened.
The Ti12 Grand Final rematch between Team Spirit and the Gaimin Gladiators ended in a draw with both teams taking turns stomping each other.
At the same time, Blacklist International and LGD Gaming also tied their series, while OG took down Heroic 2-0.
Surprisingly, OG is leading the group, tied with Team Spirit. Team Falcons did recover with a 2-0 victory, but they are still sharing the last-place spot with Aurora.
Still, there is so much Dota to be played, and anything can still happen in these groups.
