The Falcons guaranteed top-6 at the Riyadh Masters 2024, but this is far from the limit of possibilities for them. In 2024, Team Falcons won four trophies, two of them in LAN format, and never fell below third place overall (and that was with Standin at mid). In the future, Team Falcons can open its era in Dota 2, but to do so, it needs to win at least one of the two biggest tournaments in the gaming discipline.
The start of the tournament in Riyadh came with two resounding defeats to Team Spirit and Gaimin Gladiators. At the moment, there were serious doubts about the Falcons' form, but they immediately dispelled any bad speculation on the part of the community. Team Falcons then produced four wins in Group A and advanced to the playoffs from the top spot, and in the first elimination match they beat WBG.XG 2:1. Malr1ne's team doesn't care at all about the emerging meta in the game, the players themselves are pushing off their signature characters and forcing the opponent to adjust. Timbersaw, Weaver, Mars, and Pangolier are also relevant, although they are not considered an imba in patch 7.36. Judging by the individual statistics, Team Falcons' barkers feel great, taking the first three places in terms of KDA. Skiter is leading in this ranking, and it should be noted here that when Oliver has good numbers, his teams have consistently become champions. It was the same story at The International 2022 when skiter won Aegis with Tundra Esports.
Gaimin Gladiators
The Gladiators are trying their best to return to the former, leading positions, but it is difficult. Gaimin Gladiators overcame Group A without much trouble and went to the top net, where they broke the resistance from Entity. But now Team Falcons has to take revenge, and this is absolutely not the same team that dyrachyo and company beat on the first game day.
In 2024, the team went through a wild slump that caused the results to go downhill. But this is also where the players' mentality came out - despite the setbacks, they didn't scatter, but worked hard and waited for a new patch. Gaimin Gladiators is dependent on Ace performances. There are concerns about Quinn's form - the mider in Riyadh often allows himself to make mistakes and die. Quinn was usually considered the main option in the Gaimin Gladiators system, but if Quinn makes mistakes, it becomes harder to play.
However, we always try to compare the current Gladiators to their success and conditioning from last year. A lot of time has passed since then, and there are more competitors. Gaimin Gladiators can reach the top-4, can be in the top three. But this is not a team that can win the RIyadh Masters 2024 title.
Expert Betting Tips
Last match should not be taken into account. Team Falcons had the right to make mistakes in the group stage. Bookmakers also consider the Falcons as favorites in this match, while the Gladiators are given less chances to win. Most likely, Malr1ne and company will make it to the final of the top net.
