In this edition of the DH Masters Spring 2020 due to the global health situation, the whole tournament was shifted to an online format with regional tournaments being played across Europe, North America, Asia, and Oceania.
As a result, the first-ever Asian team to win a DH Masters tournament turned out to be none other than Tyloo whereas the first team from Oceania to win the event was Renegades. Apart from this, both Team Liquid and G2 Esports had a chance to become the first teams to ever win a DH Masters tournament twice, but none of them was able to achieve this feat.
It is quite astonishing to see that no team has managed to win two DH Masters tournament since 2016. Even Astralis during their dominant 2018 run failed to achieve this feat by coming second in the closely contested finals of DH Masters Stockholm, following a defeat to North after securing a victory previously at DH Masters Marseille in the same year.
