At DreamLeague Season 24, a team that won only one match almost made it through

Robson "TeaGuvnor" Merritt, a Dota 2 commentator, was shocked that Zone Academy made it to the grand final of the DreamLeague Season 24 qualifiers after securing only a single win during the selection process.

He shared this on his Telegram channel.

"I'm working in the MESWA region, covering the closed qualifiers for DreamLeague 24. In the grand final that I’m commentating, there’s a team that didn’t win a single game in the qualifiers. 5 losses – and now a final against Nigma in a bo5 format. I’m in shock"

However, in the decisive match against Nigma Galaxy, the team’s luck ran out, and in less than an hour, Zone Academy lost 3-0. This situation was truly unique, as 9 matches in the DreamLeague 24 qualifiers for the MENA region ended in technical defeats.

As a reminder, Kuro "KuroKy" Salehi Takhasomi recently became the new coach of Nigma Galaxy, stepping down from the captain’s role.
