The group stage of BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024 has concluded, with four teams already eliminated from the competition. This Dota 2 tournament features a $1,000,000 prize pool, and after a series of intense matchups, the playoff brackets are now set.
Early Exits: Nouns and Talon Disappoint
Among the most unexpected eliminations were Nouns and Talon Esports, two teams that failed to make any significant impact during the group stage. Nouns, despite keeping the same roster from The International 2024, managed only one win in five series, ending with a 0:1:4 series record and a dismal 1:9 game record. Their sole win was against Team Spirit’s revamped lineup.
Talon Esports faced a similar fate, also recording a 0:1:4 series record with their only victory coming against Mouz, another team that did not advance to the playoffs. L1GA also failed to progress, making for a total of four teams eliminated early.
Group Stage Highlights
The top performers in Group B included Team Falcons, who secured the first spot, followed by a tie between Team Spirit and Gaimin Gladiators featuring Alimzhan “Watson” Islambekov. In Group A, BetBoom Team and Tundra Esports claimed the top two positions.
Both teams tied their series 1:1, but BetBoom Team took the lead due to a 1v1 tiebreaker between Gleb “kiyotaka” Zyryanov and Artem “lorenof” Melnick, which Kiyotaka won with a superior creep stat count.
