Maelstorm Explains Entity’s Failure at Riyadh Masters 2024

Commentator Vladimir "Maelstorm" Kuzminov shared his opinion on Entity's elimination from the Riyadh Masters 2024 Dota 2 playoffs. He believes the team fell apart in the decisive match against BetBoom Team.

"I can’t say BB Team surprised me a lot, but I see unreal progress in them," Kuzminov said. "They didn’t fall apart and didn’t do nonsense, even progressed. However, it wasn’t easy to notice because their opponents, Entity, completely fell apart. You might ask: 'How?' No[o]ne was carrying. He was carrying, but as soon as he started making mistakes, there was no one to support him. Watson showed himself terribly in the match; it was like he wasn’t there, just failed lanes. Drafts with these unusual 'fours' didn’t work out either. In general, Entity fell apart and ended up losing."

Entity Gaming lost to BB Team 1:2 in the lower bracket playoffs, finishing in 9th-12th place and earning $100,000.

Riyadh Masters 2024 runs from July 4 to 21 in Saudi Arabia, with participants competing for a $5 million prize pool. For Entity, this was the first LAN event of the season where the team played at full strength.
