🥇 One undefeated team - Team Spirit 🐉

Why: They have shown incredible consistency on the main stage for several years in a row.

They have a strong captain and drafter (Miposhka), and their carry, Yatoro (Also known as: Raddan), is consistently reliable in the late game.

In BO2/BO3 during the group stage, Spirit very rarely have disastrous performances. That's why they are the ones you can give an undefeated, perfect run.

⚡ Two teams with 4 Win and 1 loss - 💎Parivision/💧Team Liquid

💎Parivision
A young and hungry for wins roster that adapts quickly to the meta.
They have already proven their level by beating top teams and winning major tournaments in 2024-2025.
Strong individually (No[o]ne, DM, Dukalis, Satanic), plus discipline and team chemistry.

💧Team Liquid
An extremely experienced roster with consistent runs to the finals of major tournaments.
Star players (Nisha, miCKe, Boxi) capable of deciding crucial matches.
A well-coordinated staff (Blitz, Jabbz) that provides strategic depth and stability.

✅ Five team that win in the Elimination Round

Team Tidebound

Team Falcons

BetBoom Team

Aurora Gaming

Tundra Esports

The potential is there, but they lack the stability to take on the titans. The Chinese roster has been performing well in recent tournaments, so they could win a playoff round.

•Recent champions of major LAN tournaments. •Very strong individually and excellently adapted to the new patch. •Might stumble once due to an overly aggressive style, but overall they advance confidently.

•One of the most "star-studded" CIS lineups, with players of a top-5 world level. •Sometimes suffer from unstable drafts, which leads to 1 loss, but they still look like favorites to advance to the playoffs.

The season's surprise - a team from SEA that really often "bites" the favorites. Their level is sufficient for the playoffs.

Despite a decline after the TI 2022 championship, they are still dangerous. In the groups and first playoff matches, they usually deliver solid results.

❌ Five team that lose in the Elimination Round

Natus Vincere

Xtreme Gaming

Nigma Galaxy

Heroic

BOOM Esports

A historic brand, but they are coming to TI with a roster that is unlikely ready to compete with the favorites.

The Chinese scene is showing signs of life, just not quickly enough. Although Xtreme appears to be the region's greatest hope, their chances aren't very high.

An iconic team, but clearly not at a top-8 level in recent years. They can show flashes of brilliance but can't sustain it over a long series.

They recently entered Dota and don't have a strong scene around them yet. They will likely be eliminated early.

A SEA team that often qualifies for TI but rarely goes far. Their aggression works online, but not at a Major.

⚔️Two teams with 1 win and 4 losses

❗YAKUTOU BROTHERS
A young Chinese squad that replaced GG. They play aggressively but lack Tier-1 experience. Looking at their 2024-25 stats, they could beat Team Nemesis, but they won't be able to defeat other teams without more preparation and experience.

❗Wildcard Gaming
A mid-tier North American team. They can pull off upsets against the top teams in their own region, but they lack consistency and titles. Despite their extensive Tier-2 experience, they have very low odds of making it to TI. They are most likely to only get a single win.

🌀 One unvictorius team

Team Nemesis

The weakest in the pool, with almost no achievements to their name. Their level of mechanical skill and drafting is inferior to that of their opponents from other teams. At TI, they always finish in last place. They put up questionable performances even at the Tier-2 level.

📌Final Prediction Logic

Top-tier (Spirit, Parivision, Team Liquid) — favorites who rarely make mistakes.

Stable tier (Team Tidebound, Team Falcons, BetBoom Team, Aurora Gaming, Tundra Esports) — will advance, but not perfectly.

Mid tier (Natus Vincere, Xtreme Gaming, Nigma Galaxy, Heroic, BOOM Esports) — can take maps, but won't last long in the playoffs.

Bottom tier (YAKUTOU BROTHERS, Team Nemesis, Wildcard Gaming) — will get a maximum of 1 win, or get eliminated "dry" (winless).
