While the focus is on the EWC and Riyadh Masters, the Leon Masters, a European online Dota 2 tournament, is generating excitement after completing its first group stage. With the withdrawal of MOUZ and SIBE Team, every team technically advanced to the second group stage. Notable names in the tournament include Yellow Submarine and the former Alliance stack, Rest Farmers.
The first group stage provided a glimpse of the dominating teams in Leon Masters #1. PSG Quest and Nemiga Gaming secured top seeds and advanced to the semifinals of the Playoffs without losing a series. They are positioned to potentially sweep the entire tournament undefeated.

As we await the semi-finals match between PSG Quest and Nemiga Gaming, all eyes are on Group Stage 2, where potential dark horses could emerge for a late-tournament run.
Leon Masters Group A Preview
In Group A, Night Pulse, second only to Nemiga Gaming in the first group stage, continues to impress. Team Tea, led by veteran support player and captain Akbar “SoNNeikO” Butaev, poses a challenge for Night Pulse. Keep an eye on Yellow Submarine as a wildcard, as they have shown consistency and have experience playing together for over a year.
Leon Masters Group B Preview
In Group B, Twisted Minds (formerly Rest Farmers, formerly Alliance), L1GA TEAM, Dandelions, and DMS are teams to watch. Twisted Minds and L1GA TEAM performed well in the first group stage, while Dandelions and DMS have yet to showcase their skills. Notable players in these teams include Nikita “Daxak” Kuzmin in DMS and Nikita “Palantimos” Grinkevich and Ivan “Kidaro” Bondarev in Dandelions.
PSG Quest and Nemiga Gaming should not underestimate their upcoming opponents in the Playoffs. The competition in Leon Masters #1 features some of the best teams in Europe, creating an opportunity for potential rising stars in the thriving Dota 2 Esports scene. With the Eastern European region only represented by Team Spirit in the Riyadh Masters, the $100,000 prize pool is up for grabs for the best team in Leon Masters #1.
