Tundra vs Team Falcons: EWC 2025 Dota 2 betting odds, tips

Luke Warr Published July 17, 2025

The Esports World Cup’s Dota 2 tournament is approaching its conclusion and Team Falcons has made a deeper run than many were expecting, but can it survive against Tundra Esports?

Team Falcons has been on a bit of a slide over the last year. The team is still good, but as Dota 2’s upper tier grows more crowded, Falcons has found itself pushed towards the fringes. Despite this, Falcons has secured itself a top-four finish in the Esports World Cup. The odds are still stacked against them when it comes to reaching the finals, though.

Tundra Esports vs Team Falcons in-depth team, match analysis

Team Falcons looked like it was set for an early exit from the Esports World Cup. There aren’t any particularly easy outs in the tournament, but a 2-4 group stage run isn’t typically indicative of success. That’s especially the case in a tournament format like this; as the team would need to win two more elimination matches just to reach the playoffs.

Despite that, Falcons has persevered admirably. It took wins over Virtus.pro and NaVi to push its way into the playoffs. It received a tough draw in Team Liquid but managed to come out on top. It’s an impressive run, but an impressive comeback shouldn’t be given more weight than consistent success.

Tundra Esports is one of the teams that has enjoyed consistent success, that has run into the Esports World Cup. The team has placed in the top three in most of the tournaments it has competed in and hasn’t stumbled in the Esports World Cup. Tundra went 5-1 in the group stage and took a convincing win over Talon Esports jin the elimination stage. It then knocked out BetBoom Team, one of the strongest competitors in the tournament, in the playoffs.

While Team Falcons is exceeding expectations, that’s only the case because expectations were comparatively low. While Falcons is good enough to score a win over any team in Dota 2, the fact that it’s a favorite against Tundra Esports on multiple betting sites is perplexing.

Rosters and roles

Best and most popular heroes

• Team Falcons has been rolling with comfort picks more than most teams, which is a good thing as it has a middling or losing record with meta heroes like Bristleback, Shadow Shaman, and Puck. Instead, Falcons is at its best with the likes of Timbersaw, Muerta, and Sven.
• Tundra has been able to do work with most of the current standard meta heroes, but Tusk, Doom, and Monkey King have been their best.
• The most-contested heroes list at the Esports World Cup looks like something from 12 years ago. Naga Siren and Batrider are instabans, while Doom, Templar Assassin, and Undying are also typically removed.  Shadow Shaman, Puck, Shadow Fiend, Monkey King, Tusk, and Queen of Pain are among the most common picks thus far.
