Vici Gaming Form & Performance

Yakult Brothers Form & Performance
Over the past 6 months, Yakult Brothers have confirmed their status as one of the strongest teams in their region, but have played inconsistently at Tier-1 tournaments.
The analysis should begin with The International 2025: China Closed Qualifier, where Yakult Brothers finished 2nd after losing to Xtreme Gaming in the grand final. According to the tournament rules, the team did not receive a slot for The International 2025, but due to the withdrawal of Gaimin Gladiators, they still qualified for the main Dota 2 tournament of the year.
At Clavision Masters 2025: Snow-Ruyi, Yakult Brothers failed to impress the local fans. The team did not secure a single win and finished in the top 10.
At The International 2025, Yakult Brothers were among the outsiders but managed to deliver a decent performance. The team finished with a 2–3 record and lost to HEROIC in the Elimination Round, finishing in 9th–13th place.
It is also worth noting Yakult Brothers’ strong performances at DreamLeague Season 27: China Closed Qualifier and BLAST Slam IV: China Closed Qualifier, where the team claimed victories and confirmed their status as one of the strongest in their region.
However, Yakult Brothers were less successful at Tier-1 tournaments. At BLAST Slam IV, the team looked unconvincing and secured only one victory, finishing in 11th–12th place. A similar level of play was shown at PGL Wallachia Season 6, where Yakult Brothers ended their run in the top 12–14. At BLAST Slam V, the roster showed slight improvement — despite a difficult group stage (3–8), the team passed one Play-In round but was eliminated after a loss to MOUZ, finishing in 7th–10th place.
At DreamLeague Season 27, Yakult Brothers struggled again, finishing with a 1–5 record and placing in the top 24.
Yakult Brothers started the 2026 season with regional qualifiers but failed to secure slots for the main tournaments.
Finally, Yakult Brothers delivered a solid performance at ESL Challenger China, reaching the grand final but losing to Xtreme Gaming. The team secured slots at DreamLeague Season 28 and ESL One Birmingham 2026.
The slight progress at the start of the season indicates potential for further development; however, to establish themselves at a higher level, Yakult Brothers need to improve consistency against top teams and learn to maintain their form throughout entire tournaments.
On their first Tier-1 tournament of the season, DreamLeague Season 28, Yakult Brothers performed poorly. In Group Stage 1, the team achieved 1 win, 1 draw, and 5 losses, being eliminated from the tournament and finishing in the top-16.
At ESL One Birmingham 2026, Yakult Brothers did not place high (top 14) but did not perform badly. In the Group Stage, they went 1–3–3, securing a win over MOUZ and a draw with Tundra Esports.
