A few years ago, Jackkeylove made statements around the Top Esports journey at EWC 2024. Accordingly, with League of Legends, although they were Top Team teams but with TES, they did not receive the treatment in accordance with the team's reputation. Jackkeylove said the team was only provided by the Organizing Committee of the awards and TES had to spend itself to upgrade to the business class. Former King of Worlds 2018 also said that other teams had the same situation but did not speak out. The incident then made a controversy but also accidentally “helped” EWC 2024 to be more noticeable.
Jackkeylove spoke out Tes to only be granted ordinary flight tickets and had to spend money to raise merchants. He also said that other teams also have the same situation
However, according to a recent information from the Central League of Legends community, while the League of Legends players like Jackkeylove have to complain, the Dota 2 subject was allowed to take the entire business class from BTC EWC 2024.
“There is no direct flight from Shanghai to Riyadh, so they have to fly in Beijing first. And, on the other hand, the Dota 2 players have business class tickets.”
This is completely easy to explain. Specifically, the country of EWC 2024 is Saudi Arabia and this is a country that is very interested in Dota 2. Nigma Galaxy – one of the powerful eSports organizations of the world headquartered in the UAE. In particular, the DOTA 2 team of Nigma Galaxy organization possesses names in the legendary form like Kuroky or Miracle -… Particularly for League of Legends, Nigma Galaxy is also building a name and recently, they have recruited Vietnamese gunner as Slayder.
Dota 2 develops quite strongly in Saudi Arabia compared to League of Legends
It can be said that if League of Legends is not really powerful in Saudi Arabia, then Dota 2 has built a reputation for a long time and even the pride of the Esports is still young of the “oil” country. Therefore, the fact that the Dota 2 teams are more favorable is also understandable.
