Azure Ray vs Team Zero Prediction: We'll See the Favorite in Next Stage

Prediction for the Riyadh Masters 2024 match, which will take place on June 4th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Azure Ray surprised the fans, losing to the LGD Gaming team in the last match. They went down to the loser's net, where the teams will challenge for the last ticket to the Riyadh Masters 2024. AR is the favorite in this qualification, but they still can make something unexpected.

Since TI12, Azure Ray has demonstrated their adaptability with two lineup changes. The departure of Somnus, FY, and coach Lanm paved the way for Xm, XinQ, and former Team Aster Xxs offlaner Xxs and Vici Gaming coach Liekkas. Despite initial skepticism, the revamped roster shone, clinching the first major tournament of the new season, ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023. The subsequent departure of Xm, Xxs, and XinQ to Xtreme Gaming led to the introduction of Ori, Faith_bian, and fy, who had been out of the game for over a year. Yet, the Azure Ray team's eagerness to compete set the stage for an exciting journey.

In the new roster, the team regularly participates in international tournaments, quietly winning regional qualifications. The team did pretty well at BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024 (4th place) and Elite League Season 1 (3rd place), which shows how strong the Chinese team is in international competitions. The AR players are doing well regarding regional qualifications, but it won't be easy.

Team Zero is a young team with big ambitions, looking to make a name for themselves in the professional Dota 2 scene. Despite a few losses, they show potential and a willingness to fight with more experienced teams.

The team has never played at the international level, but in the regional qualification, the Chinese came close to getting to the highest level twice. The team lost to KEV (2:3) in the Elite League qualification finals and was shut out by Azure Ray (2:3) in the DreamLeague Season 23 tournament. However, the finals were extremely close, which was pretty amazing. Last month, Team Zero won the Kobolds Rave tier-3 tournament, a big win for the organization. In the Riyadh Masters qualification, Team Zero lost to KEV but beat Team Bright. They're ready to give Azure Ray a run for their money, as they've never beaten them.

Given their current form and results, Azure Ray is the favorite in this clash. Their aggressive style of play and individual skill level could be the deciding factors in this match.
