Ame Falls Short Again at The International 2025, Secures Another Second Place
Ame, one of the most celebrated players in Dota 2 history, has once again narrowly missed the top spot at The International. At The International 2025, he finished in 2nd place, continuing a pattern of near-misses that has defined much of his career.
Throughout his TI journey, Ame has shown incredible skill and consistency, but the championship title has repeatedly eluded him:
- The International 2017 — 4th place
- The International 2018 — 2nd place
- The International 2019 — 3rd place
- The International 2021 — 2nd place
- The International 2022 — 5-6th place
- The International 2024 — 5-6th place
- The International 2025 — 2nd place
Fans have affectionately called him “the eternal runner-up,” a title that reflects both his extraordinary talent and the heartbreak of narrowly missing out on the ultimate prize. Despite this, Ame’s performances continue to inspire the Dota 2 community, proving that consistency at the highest level is a remarkable achievement in itself.
As the dust settles on TI 2025, discussions about Ame’s legacy are more alive than ever. While a championship has remained elusive, his contributions to his teams and the game’s competitive history are undeniable. Fans remain hopeful that someday, Ame’s perseverance will finally be rewarded with a long-awaited championship trophy.
