How the bookies view it: Team Falcons favorite
Most bookmakers consider Team Falcons the favorite in the match against Tundra Esports at BLAST Slam IV. The team recently became the champions of The International 2025 and earned podium finishes at several other top-tier tournaments this season. In addition, the team currently leads the standings with a 7-1 record, while Tundra are close behind in second place with a 6-1 record.
Team Falcons form
Our Dota 2 betting prediction begins with an analysis of Team Falcons form. The team was formed in 2023 and almost immediately began competing at the highest level.
Thanks to significant investments and a star-studded roster, the team quickly started showing strong results.
Team Falcons roster: skiter, Malr1ne, ATF, Cr1t, Sneyking.
When assembling the roster, the team followed the “golden five” principle. The organization managed to sign two players from Tundra Esports, as well as prize winners and champions of The International.
In the MENA region, where Falcons are based, this roster has no competition even at the individual skill level. It is therefore not surprising that Falcons easily secure tournament slots by winning regional qualifiers.
At the ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 MENA Closed Qualifier, they defeated PSG Quest 3-1 in the final. What the other teams are doing in the MENA region is unclear, but let it be.
Falcons looked very confident at the Pinnacle: 25 Year Anniversary Show, which is not surprising. They had already secured a playoff spot, finishing first in Group B, without dropping a single map in three matches.
Falcons began their playoff run at the Pinnacle: 25 Year Anniversary Show with a first-round match against Level Up. An easy win brought them to The Dudley Boys, where Falcons suffered their first and only loss of the tournament. However, in the grand final, they took revenge on The Dudley Boys.
By the end of the Pinnacle: 25 Year Anniversary Show, Falcons finished in first place and earned $50,000. The triumph at this local championship was Falcons’ first victory in the discipline—but not their last.
After Pinnacle, Falcons placed in the TOP-6 at ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023, and then they began to dominate. In 2024, they won three qualifiers: BB Dacha, DreamLeague Season 22, and ESL One Birmingham in their MENA region.
Immediately before participating in DL Season 22, Falcons became BB Dacha champions, earning $400,000.
Then Falcons competed at DreamLeague Season 22. They showed the highest level of play and claimed another trophy, defeating BB in the grand final 3-0. They also reached the Elite League final but could not win there: Xtreme Gaming proved stronger and won 3-1.
At ESL One Birmingham 2024, Falcons topped Group A in the group stage. However, in the first round of the playoffs, they lost to Tundra 1-2. In the lower bracket, Falcons made a comeback against Team Liquid after losing the first map. Later, the Saudi Arabian club managed to win the tournament, defeating BB Team in the grand final.
Falcons then continued their winning streak: they won DreamLeague Season 23 and FISSURE Universe: Ep. 3, but “failed” at The International 2024, finishing in the TOP-4. At the same time, they became one of the few top teams to retain their roster after The International 2024.
In the first group stage of DreamLeague Season 24, they advanced confidently, becoming the best team in Group B with a 5-2-0 record. But the second part of the group stage was much more difficult: as of the penultimate game day, November 6, their score was 3-2, which did not guarantee a playoff spot. However, they advanced, and there again Falcons’ classic performance happened: a path to the grand final and a 3-1 victory over BB Team.
The group stage of BLAST Slam I went poorly: 2-2. But based on personal match results in Group A, they took the TOP-4, which allowed them to reach the first round of playoffs. After winning the opening match of the main stage against OG, they lost in the next round and finished the tournament in the TOP-8.
The 2025 season for Falcons was somewhat weaker than the previous one, but the team still demonstrated a stable level of play. The team placed 2nd at Fissure Playground and 3rd-4th at BLAST Slam II.
At DreamLeague Season 25, Falcons finished the first group stage with a 4-2-1 record. In Group Stage 2, the team performed slightly worse with a 3-4 record, finishing 5th in the tournament.
At PGL Wallachia Season 3, Team Falcons performed at the expected level, finishing in 2nd place.
After a small mid-season slump, the team returned to the top and pleased fans with strong performances at BLAST Slam III and Esports World Cup 2025, where they finished 2nd, and won FISSURE Universe: Episode 6.
At The International 2025, Team Falcons are playing very well. The team finished the Group Stage with a 3-2 record, and in the Elimination Stage, they defeated Team Spirit 2-0, further improving their form. In the playoffs, the team had no equals and advanced through the upper bracket all the way to the tournament championship.

Tundra Esports form
Let's continue Dota 2 betting tips with an analysis of Tundra Esports form. This team is one of the strongest in Europe and almost always finishes among the top contenders. As usual, let’s begin with a recap of their performance starting in 2023.
Tundra Esports began the year by placing 3rd at DPC WEU 2023 Tour 1: Division I, which qualified them for The Lima Major 2023. However, they failed to make a deep run there, finishing in the top 12.
Their form improved during the second DPC tour, where they once again showed strong performance and finished 2nd. This also carried over to the international stage — at ESL One Berlin Major 2023, the reigning TI champions finished in the top 6.
In the third DPC tour, Tundra reclaimed the top spot and finally secured a tournament victory.
They later played at DreamLeague Season 20, but lacked the motivation to win and exited during the first group stage, finishing 9th–10th.
At Bali Major 2023, Tundra had to make a roster change as Saksa stepped down due to illness. Nevertheless, they managed to place in the top 3.
In Riyadh, Tundra once again relied on Aui_2000 as a stand-in. With him, they made it through the group stage and survived round-robin tiebreakers.
Despite these efforts, they failed to impress at The International 2023, finishing in the top 16. They followed up with a top-7 finish at ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023.
Tundra Esports roster: Pure, bzm, 33, Ari, Whitemon.
The year 2024 turned out to be significantly better for Tundra Esports, as the team played in various qualifiers throughout the first half of the year. The European club finished in the top 10 at DreamLeague Season 22 and in the top 8 at the Elite League.
Tundra's partial resurgence came at ESL One Birmingham 2024, where the team managed to place in the top 3. The peak of their 2024 season was Riyadh Masters, where they secured 4th place, and The International 2024, where Tundra reached the top 3 and came close to qualifying for the Grand Final. Later, with an updated roster, they again placed in the top 3 at PGL Wallachia Season 2.
At DreamLeague Season 24, Tundra Esports tested their new lineup, which performed well and finished in the top 5. After that, they competed at BLAST Slam 1, where they finished as runners-up. It became evident that the team had finally found the strategies they were looking for.
In the 2025 season, Tundra Esports demonstrates an even higher level. First, the team qualified for DL S25 and then won the qualification for ESL One Raleigh 2025: WEU. This was followed by the championship title at Fissure PLAYGROUND #1 and BLAST Slam II.
At DreamLeague Season 25 and PGL Wallachia Season 3, the team took 2nd place. At Esl One Raleigh 2025 and PGL Wallachia Season 4, the team lost a little ground and took 3rd place, but at BLAST Slam III they rose to the top again and won.
Tundra Esports also placed 7th-8th at PGL Wallachia Season 5 and secured 4th place at the Esports World Cup 2025.
At The International 2025, Tundra Esports are considered one of the favorites, but in the early stages of the tournament they showed an unconvincing performance. The team finished with a 2-3 record, and in the Elimination Stage they defeated Team Liquid 2-1, which allowed them to qualify for the playoffs of the tournament.
In the Upper Bracket Quarterfinals, Tundra Esports played against Xtreme Gaming and, despite demonstrating a decent level of play, still lost 0-2. In the Lower Bracket, Tundra Esports unexpectedly lost to HEROIC, getting eliminated from the tournament and finishing in 7th–8th place.
