One of the bigger tournaments at the Esports World Cup has come to a close. The Dota 2 Riyadh Masters, which featured a $5 million prize pool and saw 20 teams in attendance and battling for a slice of this cash offering, came to an end last night after around three weeks of action. With this in mind, we now have a victor to report on.

Gaimin Gladiators are back at the pinnacle of Dota 2 competition. Last year's runner-up at The International 2023, and the fourth-placing Riyadh Masters 2023 team has taken this tournament following defeating Team Liquid in the grand finals. This result has seen the Gladiators heading back home with $1.5 million in their pockets and a slate of Club Points too, catapulting the organisation to fourth in the Club Championship standings as of right now.
