Team Spirit — the main contender for victory at The International 2025 according to BetBoom ambassadors
Ambassadors and streamers of the bookmaker company BetBoom made their predictions for The International 2025. Most believe in the third victory of Team Spirit at the world championship in Dota. Also, BetBoom streamers noted the low prize pool of the tournament — this year it has not yet exceeded $3 million.
“The meta hasn't changed for a second, so a victory for Team Spirit is just the simplest solution. They have the best chances. Maybe for certain people TI is considered cool not because of the money, but because of the organization and the great execution, but they have also started to falter.”
- Solo:
“Team Spirit gained an impressive form for the Esports World Cup 2025 and steamrolled all opponents, then reached the grand final of FISSURE Universe: Episode 6 even with a substitute. I think there are all chances for a championship upon Larl's return to the team. For the MVP of Int, we have two main candidates: Yatoro and Collapse, both in an unreal zone. Personally, I would like to see Magomed as the best. For all players, the prize is a big motivation, but the status of TI, the champion title, and the raised Aegis outweigh any prize pool. Int will forever remain a coveted trophy for every player.”
- ТраВоМан:
“I will bet on Team Spirit! Even though they lost to Team Falcons 0:3 in the final of FISSURE Universe: Episode 6 and will play Int with Larl after surgery, I believe too much in the prime of Yatoro and Collapse! These two players can win the unwinnable! I think everyone is already indifferent to the prize pool of TI. For pro players, winning at Int is a chance to write themselves into the history of their favorite game.”
“Favorites of The International 2025 are Team Spirit. Even considering the complications after surgery for Larl. Before the start of the tournament, I would also bet on Tundra Esports, but with the replacement of Whitemon with Tobi, it won't work for them. It seems that the bigger the prize of the tournament, the more often we see 'close games'. At the Esports World Cup 2025 there were very tight games. The prize in any case decides, but at Int the name of the tournament speaks for itself: the title of TI champion is the greatest achievement in a career.”
- Adekvat:
“I will bet on Team Spirit. I believe that the tournament may start hard. The absence of a full-fledged training process with Larl will be felt. But during the group stage, form will come, and the whole mechanism will work perfectly already in the playoffs, you just need to reach it. At the peak of form, as we know, this team cannot be stopped. This is TI in the name of Yatoro. Now, all else being equal, in the top eight strongest teams, it is Ilya who shows a monstrous game on the server with a gap from other carries. The small prize of The International 2025 is primarily for the 'witnesses of forty million'. For pro players, winning at Int is still like winning 3-4 major LANs at once + writing themselves into history. For many, by the way, more famous ones, the second is even more important and principled. So TI will remain 'status', even if it will still have the same 1.6 million base from Valve.”
The International 2025 will take place from September 4 to 14 in Hamburg, Germany. The prize pool of the world championship will be over $2.37 million. According to BetBoom odds, the favorite of the tournament is Team Spirit — 2.40.
