The International 2025 Compendium Teams Predictions Guide

The International 2025 Compendium offers plenty of unique rewards for those who manage to earn the highest number of points during the event. You can obtain them through fantasy and correctly made predictions. This task is quite difficult, as predicting team results is not easy, and only about 15% of participants will receive any prize. In this blog, we will provide a Predictions Guide for The International 2025, give tips, and make our own forecast.

How to make Predictions in TI14 Compendium

Making predictions in Compendium 2025 is quite easy. First, go to Predictions through the Dota 2 main menu, and you will see a window where you need to distribute the teams (currently available only for the Road To The International stage). In the top row, you must select the team that will show a flawless winning streak, then choose two teams that will finish matches with a 4-1 score, and the rest who will advance to the main stage of the tournament. In the bottom row, it’s the opposite — select those who will drop out of TI14.

The most effective strategy is to pick the favorites, even if it goes against your personal preferences, since this way the chances of success will be the highest. You can already make your first predictions now and adjust them once the tournament bracket is revealed. Remember, predictions for the Road To The International can be submitted until September 3.

Best The International 2025 Compendium Tips

Here is EGamersWorld’s prediction for the Road to The International stage results.

Keep in mind, the prediction may slightly change once the tournament bracket is released.

Why we chose these predictions

Explaining why Tundra Esports, PARIVISION, Team Spirit, and Team Liquid are among the favorites, and BOOM Esports and Team Nemesis are considered outsiders, is probably unnecessary. However, for the other teams, we will give a short explanation.

Team Falcons – the team ranks among the strongest despite rather inconsistent performances. This year, Team Falcons had both setbacks (9th-11th place at PGL Wallachia Season 4) and successes (2nd place at EWC 2025). At TI14, they received a direct invite, and last year they finished 4th.

Natus Vincere – for many, this will be an unexpected pick, since this is the team’s first The International in 6 years. This year, NAVI completely rebuilt their roster, promoting NAVI Junior to the main squad, who earned their TI2025 slot through qualifiers.

Xtreme Gaming and Team Tidebound – both are considered the strongest in their region, but on the international stage, they often display unstable results. Looking at their performance this season, you can notice the contrast between their runs at Asian Champions League 2025 and PGL Wallachia Season 5, for example. We do not claim that these teams are among the outsiders, but it will be very difficult for them to compete with the top-tier giants.

As a reminder, Gaimin Gladiators unexpectedly withdrew from the tournament and will be replaced by another team.
