Gaimin Gladiators win Riyadh Masters 2024, defeating Team Liquid once again
2024-07-21 22:45:00Team Liquid clashed with Gaimin Gladiators in the grand final that looked like a flashback from 2023. This time, both teams had poor season but peaked at Riyadh Masters 2024 to face each other in the grand final. The narrative didn't change, and GG won the series with the score of 3:0.
Team Liquid continue their almost impossible losing streak without victories, which has been lasting since ESL One Germany 2020 online and since MDL Macau 2019 on LAN. Back then, the organization was represented by KuroKy's lineup.
Gaimin Gladiators are to blame for many of Liquid's failures. In 2023, they played four grand finals against each other, and all of them ended in favor of Quinn and his teammates.
Riyadh Masters 2024 was held from July 4 to 21 in Saudi Arabia. 20 teams competed for a share of $5 mln. This was the first big event running on 7.36c with facets and innate abilities. Falcons were the most dominant team in 2024, but they were stopped by Liquid in the lower bracket finals in Riyadh.
