The International 2025 Playoffs Compendium Players Fantasy

The International 2025 Group and Elimination Stage have concluded, which means the main event is ahead, taking place on September 11-14. Valve has already added changes to the Compendium, and every player can make their predictions regarding teams and players. In this blog, we will talk about Playoffs Compendium Players Fantasy, how to play it, and which players will be the best picks.

What is TI 2025 Playoffs Compendium Fantasy

Fantasy is an annual in-game event that takes place together with the Compendium before and during The International. In it, you need to create your own team from professional players and enhance it with emblems, and for their successful The International 2025 performances and earned points, you will receive scores and, at the end of the event, be able to claim rewards.

Best Players For Playoffs Fantasy

The Group and Prediction Stage of TI 2025 shed light on the form of Dota 2 teams and players in this tournament. We have gathered several players for each position who are the best picks and can help you score the maximum points.

These are just some of the best options. In the TI 2025 playoffs, 8 teams are playing, and you can choose any players from these teams.

How to play Playoffs Fantasy?

The playoffs rules are similar to the Road to The International Fantasy. You need to assemble your own team of 3 players: core, mid, and support. You must choose players whose teams advanced to the playoffs. To understand all the rules, we recommend reading the TI 2025 Compendium Fantasy Guide, where we explained in detail about Titles, War Banners, and emblems that should be selected for players.

The main difference in the playoffs fantasy is the presence of 5 emblems instead of 3. Core players receive an additional red and green emblem, while supports get a green and blue emblem. All predictions can be made before the start of the playoffs stage, which begins on September 11.

How to win in Playoffs Fantasy?

Due to the unpredictability of The International 2025, many players were unable to score a large number of points in the first stage of fantasy. To fix this situation in the playoffs, follow these rules:

• Choose a reliable player from a strong team for each position: the best picks are players who have performed consistently in all matches, not those who showed a one-time quality performance.
• Carefully select emblem stats: this means choosing characteristics that are most often achieved by players in a given position. For example, GPM for core, Creep Score for mid, and the number of wards placed for support.
• Use rerolls to improve emblems: you have 40 replacement tokens that you can use to change various emblem characteristics, use them to increase percentages and add the needed emblems.
• Think ahead: it is recommended to choose a player whose team is predicted to advance several rounds in the playoffs. This increases the chances of a successful player performance.

These tips will help you earn more points and increase your percentile, which will allow you to receive rewards.

The International 2025 Fantasy Points

To achieve the highest possible percentile, you need to collect as many fantasy points as possible. This is the sum of emblem points from the two best game maps in a series, multiplied by bonuses. A player can play any number of BO3 matches, but only one — the most successful one — will be counted. If the match consists of three maps, the map with the lowest number of points scored is not considered.

• Kills: +121 per kill;
• Deaths: 1800 initially, –180 for each death;
