Streamer and analyst Yaroslav "NS" Kuznetsov announced the "Old-timers Hub" during the Riyadh Masters 2024 Dota 2 event. The information was shared on social media.
"FISSURE has released the official cast for Riyadh Masters. I saw questions about me in the comments, so I'll remind those who haven't heard. I will be casting Riyadh Masters 2024 without delays. The first stage will be solo (sometimes with guests on Discord). For the playoffs, there will be an 'Old-timers Hub,' with more details coming later," NS explained.
The "Old-timers Hub" is a community cast of major events organized by Kuznetsov. In 2021, he, along with Andrey "Dread" Golubev, organized the first such event to watch The International 2021. Since then, the name has become synonymous with any of NS's events featuring broadcasts of international MOBA tournaments.
Riyadh Masters 2024 will be held from July 4 to 21 in Saudi Arabia. Teams will compete for $5 million. From Eastern Europe, Team Spirit, BetBoom Team, and Virtus.pro will participate. The event will be commented on by the FUSSIRE studio, which secured rights until 2026.
