The short break is over and we are back to watching The International 2024. The Road To The International 2024 is behind us and only 8 of the strongest teams in the world remain. Before we start our analysis of the first day's games, let's get to know all the participants.

Matches of the first day of the Main Stage Playoffs

In total, we will have 4 matches on this day. There are no weak teams, and each game can present a lot of upsets, highlights and comebacks. Let's move on to the matches themselves.

BetBoom Team vs Team Falcons
Both teams are having a much worse tournament than expected. For example, Falcons were the main talkers on Aegis according to the user vote, but as we can see, something went wrong. BB play one match well and the next one terribly, for example their match against nouns lasted for 38 minutes considering that BB had a huge advantage in gold. The game ended with a score of 42:5 in favour of BetBoom. Therefore, we can expect anything from this match, or as they say, the one who makes the least mistakes will win.

Aurora vs Xtreme Gaming
The match between Aurora and Xtreme Gaming promises to be interesting, but most forecasts favour Xtreme. Xtreme Gaming have been showing good form throughout the tournament and look confident in general. Their experience and stability make them the favourites in this confrontation. At the same time, Aurora should not be underestimated, as they have repeatedly shown that they can surprise. Although beating Xtreme Gaming will be an extremely difficult task, if Aurora can find the weaknesses in their opponent's game and avoid their own mistakes, their chances are increasing.

Team Liquid vs Cloud9
An extremely interesting title. Two famous tags will meet in their first match. Both teams are having a great tournament, and it's hard to pick anyone in particular. We'll give Liquid the edge because their team has much more experience playing against difficult opponents than Cloud9, but that doesn't mean it will be a cakewalk, as each team has enough strength to both surprise their opponents and put up a fight. One of the most important matches of this day, be sure to watch it live, if you have time for it of course.

Tundra Esports vs Gaimin Gladiators
The main star to which the attention of all Dota 2 fans will be riveted, the Tundra Esports vs Gaimin Gladiators match will not leave anyone indifferent. Both teams are in great shape for this confrontation, and it's hard to pick a clear favourite. Tundra Esports, known for their endurance and tactical approach, have repeatedly proved that they can find weaknesses in the game of any opponent. However, Gaimin Gladiators, who are famous for their aggressive play and flexible strategies, are not going to back down.

This match promises to be one of the most intense in the tournament, and the anticipation of the infernal three maps only fuels the interest.
