The world tour of the best Dota 2 teams has made its way to the United States. In Raleigh, the capital of North Carolina, twelve teams started fighting for the one million dollar prize pool, but only eight have made it to the playoffs.

Group A was pretty clear-cut, with teams positioned far enough apart to avoid any tiebreakers. After their victory at ESL One Bangkok, PARIVISION was determined to win in Raleigh as well, as their 9-3 record couldn't be explained otherwise.

Team Spirit also made it to the upper bracket from Group A, while Nigma Galaxy and Team Liquid will start their playoff journey from the lower bracket. Unfortunately, Shopify Rebellion and Talon Esports didn’t make it and were eliminated from the tournament.

Group B was more competitive. Tiebreakers were needed, and Tundra Esports came out on top against BB Team, securing second place in the upper bracket. Team Falcons claimed first place in the group, while Avulus barely edged out Team Tidebound by one map, keeping the Chinese team out of the playoffs.
