On Sunday, PSG.LGD defeated Team Spirit 2-0 in the final of the 2022 Riyadh Masters to walk away with $1.5 million of the US$4 million prize pool.<\/p>\n

The four-day event, which started on July 7, hosted 10 Dota 2<\/a> teams from around the world. Although three teams had to seal their spots through the Gamers Without Borders qualifiers, seven others were invited.<\/p>\n

Despite starting 2022 on a high note and dominating the DPC China, they lost their way in Tour 3. They registered their worst finish, ending split in fourth place.<\/p>\n

However, they bounced back in the Riyadh Masters. PSG.LGD started their Riyadh Masters run in Group B, alongside Team Secret, Team Spirit, Tundra Esports, and Deboosters.<\/p>\n

Team Secret disrupted what could have been a perfect group stage run for PSG.LGD. They comfortably beat all the other teams in the group but lost to Secret 2-0.<\/p>\n

On their way to the final, PSG.LGD defeated Nigma Galaxy and OG. The Chinese powerhouse were the clear favorite in the match across several betting sites<\/a>, and they delivered.<\/p>\n

Team Spirit put up a decent fight but the entire series was over in 64 minutes, ending 2-0 in favor of PSG.LGD. The Russian organization was also one of the invited teams, who finished third behind Team Secret and PSG.LGD in Group B.<\/p>\n

Their first loss came at the hands of PSG.LGD, and it turned out that the same team ended denied them the Riyadh Masters title. After a 2-1-1 group stage performance, Team Spirit started their playoff run with a 2-1 victory over Royal Never Give Up.<\/p>\n

In their semifinal tie, they faced a familiar foe, which ended in a stalemate during the group stage. On this occasion, Spirit bested Secret 2-1 in the best-of-three series.<\/p>\n

Despite it being the first time teams from China were able to travel for a LAN event this year, they held their own. RNG reached the playoffs while PSG.LGD won the event.<\/p>\n

PSG.LGD’s next outing will be in the PGL Arlington Major which will commence on August 4. They are one of the 18 teams that will be fighting for a piece of the $500,000 prize pool and DPC points.<\/p>\n

Regardless of how the Arlington Major goes, PSG.LGD have already sealed a spot in The International 2022<\/a>. Of the 20 teams expected to participate, only four have guaranteed their participation.<\/p>\n

It is worth pointing out that PSG.LGD are the reigning finalists in the event. They squared off against Spirit in the grand final of the 2021 edition and lost 3-2.<\/p>\n

Although the initial prize pool is $1.6 million, there is a chance that will increase before the end of the event. Last year, the prize pool rose to over $40 million.<\/p>\n
