Here is all you need to know about Riyadh Masters 2023, it’s Dota 2 schedule, date, when and where to watch and prize pool
As the second day of the playoffs begins, only nine teams remain in Riyadh Masters 2023. Here is all the information you need to know about the Dota 2 tournament that is taking place as part of the Gamers8 event.
Riyadh Masters 2023 Dota 2 playoffs schedule, date, time, teams, prize money pool, venue, live stream
After a demanding week in Riyadh, the field of 20 teams has been cut to nine as we start day two of the playoff stage. The final major Dota 2 event until The International 2023 is being held in Saudi Arabia’s capital city, Riyadh, and it will command attention there through Sunday.
The top Dota 2 teams in the world have gathered for the Riyadh Masters 2023, which is a part of the gaming and esports event Gamers8. This is due to the tournament’s $15 million prize pool, which is one-third of Gamers8’s overall prize pool.
There is a chance that the Riyadh Masters will end up having the largest prize fund for the Dota 2 competition this year because Valve will no longer be using the traditional battle pass system for TI 2023. The undisputed favourites for Riyadh Masters are Gaimin Gladiators, who recently made history by becoming just the second team to win three straight Dota 2 Majors.

Their chances of winning the $5 million first prize, however, were severely damaged on Tuesday when they were defeated by Liquid in the first round of the upper bracket. Seleri’s soldiers will compete in the lower bracket of a LAN event for the first time this year. Will they manage to make a miraculous run?
