The Team Falcons vs Xtreme Gaming match in Round 3 of the Group Stage at The International 2025 turned out to be very exciting. From the very first map, the teams demonstrated an even game, playing very cautiously and carefully weighing every move.

Xtreme Gaming showed better team coordination, smartly pushing lanes, while their core players farmed an impressive net worth. However, Team Falcons did not fall far behind, somehow managing to minimize the damage from team fights and defend their high ground.
The game went into late stages and dragged on for more than an hour. Eventually, Xtreme Gaming destroyed all enemy lanes and created mega creeps. Yet the game still didn’t end, continuing until the 78th minute, when Xtreme Gaming finally won a decisive team fight, forcing Team Falcons to concede.
Map 3: Xtreme Gaming Victory
The third map continued the trend of this match. The teams were in no hurry, and there were few dynamic moments.
The real spectacle began closer to the late game, when Xtreme Gaming gained a 15k gold lead and seemed on the verge of victory. However, Team Falcons managed to defend their high ground and cut their opponents’ advantage almost in half, starting a small comeback.
Still, Xtreme Gaming regrouped and finally closed out the game at the 70th minute, winning with a score of 38-31. This match is currently the longest at The International 2025.
Xtreme Gaming continue their sensational run, moving to a 3-0 record and becoming the main contender for a direct spot in the tournament’s playoffs.
