LGD steps away from Dota 2 after an embarrassing open qualifier run
Legendary Dota 2 organization LGD just bounced from the game’s competitive scene after a series of disappointing results, with the final straw at the DreamLeague Season 23 open qualifiers.
This year’s competitive season has been a challenging one for LGD Gaming. After a ninth-place finish at the ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023, the team faced a major setback by failing to qualify for DreamLeague Season 22, a premier league-format event of 2024. DreamLeague is also a stepping stone toward the Esports World Cup, ex-Riyadh Masters, which is the largest prize pool event in the Dota 2 calendar, making LGD’s absence all the more significant.
