Riyadh Masters 2022: the group stage has come to an end

The group stage has come to an end, Tundra Esports, Team Liquid, TSM and Deboosters occupy the bottom lines and leave the Riyadh Masters 2022, having failed to reach the playoffs. Let's analyze the last games of these teams.

Team Liquid played a draw with Royal Never Give Up. The horses showed a poor result at the end of three gaming days, they did not manage to win anyone, they were only enough for two draws, with the team of Nigma Galaxy and RNG. ana, who had not performed on the professional stage for a long time, failed to fully replace MATUMBAMAN. His former teammate Ceb said that this guy has a peculiar manner of communication and not every captain and support will be able to play with him, for iNsania it turned out to be an impossible task. It is difficult to judge with what attitude the team approached this championship, but I doubt very much that they decided to come there for show, because a fabulous $4,000,000 is at stake. Teqm Liquid are in 9th place, earning $100,000.

Deboosters, as expected, failed to win a single map in this championship. It is not surprising, the players in the roster are too inexperienced to compete against tier-1 teams. In their last streak, Deboosters took Roshan in the first tier against PSG.LGD, but that didn't help them win either on the map or in the streak. Despite finishing in 10th place, they should be pleased, because a team of their caliber rarely manages to take $100,000.

Tundra Esports are the biggest disappointment at Riyadh Masters 2022. Yes, they played Daxak instead of 33, which is one of the best third positions of the current Dota pro scene, but even so, they should have made it to the playoffs. But one victory against outsiders in the person of Deboosters was not enough, and apart from this victory, the team did not win a single map. In the last game, they lost to the Chinese from PSG.LGD, which ended the tournament for them. For Daxak, it was an invaluable experience, and for Tundra Espors, the strongest kick before the Arlington Major. Many of the analysts said that this team rests on the shoulders of 33, we hope that this is not so, but the team just relaxed.

TSM, similarly to Tundra Esports, ends their performance with one win and three losses. They managed to defeat only Team Liquid, who did not go far from them. Once again, the team shows poor results, perhaps the second place at ESL One Stockholm 2022 was an accident. We will find out at The Internation 2022, where the team goes through the available points. They won't be at the Arlington Major due to poor DPC performance.
