The tournament has a good mix of tier one and tier two teams, which makes it a very interesting competition to follow. Especially because it will take place at the end of the month, right after Riyadh Masters 2024 and a month before The International 2024. Some of the competitors at Elite League Season 2 are also fighting for the championship title at the aforementioned two tournaments, which are the biggest two of the season.
Besides giving the tier two scene a rare opportunity to test its power against some of the biggest names in the game, Elite League also has a generous $1,000,000 prize pool to offer.
