Azure Ray's uniform
Azure Ray were the real revelation of the previous year. The team burst into the season from a top-4 spot in the Chinese DPC league and managed to make it to the Dota 2 World Championship thanks to the Chinese regional qualification. Even at that stage the team looked decent and outplayed quite a few big names on the scene in China, in particular Azure Ray did not miss out on The Internationational 2023 Xtreme Gaming. At the World Championship itself, the team made it to the top of the grid, with LGD Gaming and Gaimin Gladiators being their kryptonite. Fourth place at the debut The International for the new team can be considered a great achievement. And as a reward the players earned $182,733.

IHC Esports uniforms
IHC Esports entered the Dota 2 scene in April last year and have yet to distinguish themselves with any significant achievements. The Mongolian squad has regularly finished in the top 4 at various regional tournaments of relatively small calibre. Last year's results include fourth place at DPC SEA 2023 Tour 2: Division II and fifth place at DPC SEA 2023 Tour 3: Division II. Both tournaments brought the team a combined $20,000 in prize money. An attempt to qualify for The International 2023 - Southeast Asia Qualifier failed almost immediately, as IHC Esports took 13th-14th place. The team also managed to qualify for the ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 Southeast Asia Closed Qualifier, but finished in 7th-8th place, missing out on a major LAN tournament in Malaysia.
