The wait is finally over – Yakutou will take Gaimin Gladiator’s slot at The International 2025. You can now choose the team in the prediction system of TI 2025.
Yakutou Brothers at TI 2025
An interesting fact is that the Chinese team will compete at TI14 under a different name and a logo. Yakult Brothers replaced Gaimin Gladiators, who withdrew from The International 2025 a few days ago. Most people expected to see another team from Western Europe, but in the end, Valve and PGL added Yakutou Brothers.
The Chinese team has not had the best year. Even though it participated in several big events, it was unable to win any of them. In fact, it recently finished 9th to 10th at the Clavision Masters 2025: Snow-Ruyi.
Interestingly, Yakutou Brothers (Yakult Brothers) reached the final during the Chinese TI 2025 qualifiers. The team had excellent results before that, but could not defeat Xtreme Gaming.
Here is the team’s current roster that will compete at TI 2025:
- Jin “flyfly” Zhiyi
- Zhou “Emo” Yi
- Xiang “Beyond” Zhenghong
- Ye “BoBoKa” Zhibiao
- Chan “Oli” Chan Klein
The addition of the Chinese team means that the region will have a total of three representatives. Yakutou Brothers will join Xtreme Gaming and Team Tidebound.
