Which Teams Will Be A Part Of Ludwig x Tarik Invitational 2 in 2024?

Ludwig x Tarik Invitational 2 will feature four teams who will be competing in a double-elimination bracket. This year, the teams who will be taking part in the tournament are as follows:

Moist x Shopify
Cloud9
100 Thieves
Oxygen Esports

From the above-stated teams, both Cloud9 and 100 Thieves are a part of the VCT Americas League. It’s interesting to note that Sentinels aren’t a part of this event. Tarik is a part of Sentinels as a content creator, and it’s made many speculate why they aren’t a part of the event. Nonetheless, this will be the first major event in North America with the new Episode 8 ACT 1 patch.

The Ludwig x Tarik Invitational 2 will start on the 13th of January at 6 PM GMT. The first two matches are between Cloud9 and Moist x Shopify with the second game being between 100 Thieves and Oxygen Esports. Fans can catch all the action live on Ludwig’s YouTube channel and Tarik’s Twitch channel.

In the inaugural edition last year, we got to see teams such as The Guard, T1, Sentinels, and TSM be a part of the event. The Guard had won that event against TSM in the finals and then went on to win the VCT Ascension Americas 2023 as well.
