“Dota2 is one of the best esports games of all time and we are ecstatic to be staging the Riyadh Masters once more. Last year, this same tournament really helped to put Gamers8 on the map, and this time around anticipation and interest from near and far has reached a whole new level given how epic the action was in 2022. We cannot wait for the drama to unfold as the world’s elite Dota2 teams return for the Riyadh Masters. Their involvement is another testament to the Gamers8 evolution – an evolution that all of us here at SEF are proud to be witnessing alongside the international gaming community.”
