No[o]ne pointed out a flaw in the organization of Riyadh Masters 2025

Vladimir “No[o]ne” Minenko stated that, although the prospect of being eliminated from Riyadh Masters 2025 after the first defeat adds excitement, the esports player considers the Double Elimination format more appropriate for Dota 2 tournaments.

The player made this statement on Twitch.

“I would say that this is not the best format for Dota, but it is what it is. In a way, it's fun: you lose a match, you're out. There's something to it. But I think the best format for Dota is Double Elimination.”

Starting with the second stage of the Riyadh Masters 2025, teams leave the tournament after their first defeat. With second place in the PARIVISION group, they start the intermediate stage from the second round. To advance to the playoffs, the team needs to win tomorrow's knockout match against Xtreme Gaming.

Earlier, Kamil “Koma” Biktimirov hinted at possible problems within PARIVISION after the team's unexpected defeat on the second map of the match against Shopify Rebellion.
