Team Falcons vs Xtreme Gaming: The International 2025 finals odds and tips

Luke Warr Published September 14, 2025

Team Falcons is on the cusp of winning The International 2025, but can it beat Xtreme Gaming to pull it off?

Since its inception in 2023, Team Falcons has been one of Dota 2’s elite squads. The trouble is that Dota 2 is historically a game defined by its biggest tournaments, with far less consideration going to anything else. That makes an already high-stakes match a make-or-break affair for Team Falcons as it attempts to plug the big gap in its trophy case.

Team Falcons vs Xtreme Gaming in-depth team, match analysis

Team Falcons has been downright scary in The International 2025 playoffs. After a strong group stage run, Falcons has posted a great upper bracket winning streak, defeating all three of the four-win teams of the group stage along the way.

It’s easy to completely buy into Falcons as the favorite to win, but it’s also worth remembering that Falcons is provably beatable. During the group stage, Team Tidebound and Xtreme Gaming both managed to drag games out and out-scale Team Falcons en route to victory. Falcons does have the capacity to win marathon games, however, as it proved against Team Spirit in the elimination stage.

The big issue for Team Falcons so far has been its inability to win the biggest Dota 2 tournaments. While Team Spirit thrives in that scenario, Falcons is the opposite. A random PGL or ESL tournament is no big deal. The issue is how it placed top-four in Riyadh Masters 2024, The International 2024, and the Esports World Cup, but never first.

With how Team Falcons has looked in the TI14 playoffs, however, that could very well change here.
