Tundra Esports Is Out of TI 2025
Even though it was one of the favorites, Tundra Esports did not live up to its fans’ expectations. After losing yesterday against Xtreme Gaming, bzm and the rest also lost their LB R1 clash versus HEROIC.
This result shocked the Dota 2 community because most expected the WEU powerhouse to win. Not only did they lose, but HEROIC dominated both games, especially the first one. The South American powerhouse continues to impress with its results and will advance to the Round 2 in the Lower Bracket.
Nigma Galaxy Eliminated Team Tidebound
The second lower bracket clash that fans were eager to see put together Nigma Galaxy and Team Tidebound. If this clash had occurred a few days ago, people would have considered the Chinese team the heavy favorites. However, as we’ve seen, this was not the case because NGX was simply on another level.
This was one of those series where the games were not even close. Nigma Galaxy obliterated their opponents in both maps. Nigma completely dominated their opponents in both matches from the get-go and gave them no chances. Game 2 gave us access to the most dominant victory at The International 2025 so far as NGX ripped through their opponents in just 30 minutes.
Xtreme Gaming Has Fallen, PARIVISION Advanced To The UB Final
The Xtreme Gaming vs PARIVISION clash was among the most anticipated Dota 2 matches at The International 2025 so far. It seems like the dominance of the Chinese teams at TI 2025 has been shattered because PARIVISION won this clash.
If you’ve watched the series, you could clearly see that PARIVISION simply outclassed their opponents, especially in game 1. After the dominant victory, PARIVISION stepped into Game 2 confidently and won. It wasn’t as easy as the first time because XG gave everything they had. Despite that, the team was unable to win and will have to survive in the LB.
Following the success, PARIVISION has guaranteed itself a top 3 finish and a reward of at least $230,000. The next challenge ahead of the EEU Dota 2 powerhouse will be the winner of the next series.x
Team Falcons Continues With Its Impressive Streak
The last series of the day featured the BetBoom Team and Team Falcons, and it was as exciting as we expected. After a deadly three-game thriller, the Falcons delivered their knock-out punch and sent their opponents to the Lower Bracket.
BB Team had a solid start in the series after a solid performance in Game 1, but this was the beginning of their doom. Falcons came into game 2 like a new team and annihilated their opponents to secure a fast 30 min victory.
As expected, the team continues with its performance in Game 3 as well and needed less than 30 minutes to secure the victory. This success guarantees them a top 3 finish and a match against PARIVISION in the Upper Bracket Final.
