DOTA 2 Riyadh Masters 2022: PSG.LGD lifts trophy with a dominant 2-0 win over Team Spirit
After five days of intense and exhilarating DOTA 2 gameplay, PSG.LGD clinched the Riyadh Masters trophy after an extremely dominant performance against the reigning TI (The International) champions, Team Spirit, on July 24. The Best-of-three Grand Finals ended in little over an hour and showcased the Chinese team outclassing their opponent on all fronts.
Riyadh Masters 2022 is a third-party LAN DOTA 2 tournament hosted by Gamers8GG. The event boasted a massive prize pool of US$4 million and PSG.LGD took the biggest piece of that pie. This was also the first international LAN since TI 10 that saw the Chinese teams participating.

Special mention goes to the Alchemist pick in Game 2 and Ame's exceptional performance with the hero.
PSG.LGD were second in the Group Stage in Group B and won both their Quarterfinals and Semi-finals matches with a score of 2-1 over Nigma Galaxy and OG, respectively. Team Spirit had a disappointing showing in ESL One Stockholm 2022, the earlier DPC Major of the season.
