How the bookies view it: Team Falcons favorite
Most bookmakers give Team Falcons a slight edge in the match against Xtreme Gaming at The International 2025. The teams’ chances are roughly equal, as Xtreme Gaming created a sensation by defeating Team Spirit, while Team Falcons overcame the equally strong Tundra Esports.
Xtreme Gaming form
Let’s begin our Dota 2 betting prediction with an analysis of Xtreme Gaming form. Currently, Xtreme Gaming is the strongest team in the Chinese region and occasionally demonstrates solid performances on the international stage.
At the DPC 2023: China Upper Division, Xtreme Gaming placed in the top 5. For a roster of such caliber, that result wasn’t just disappointing — it was a failure. However, at DPC CN 2023 Tour 2: Division I, they redeemed themselves by finishing 1st.
Xtreme’s decline became even more apparent during the qualifiers for The Lima Major 2023, where the team failed to qualify at all.
Still, Xtreme managed to regroup. They brought in the experienced Kaka as position four and began to show results. With this roster, Xtreme won their regional league. They then traveled to Berlin, where they reached the group stage of The Berlin Major 2023, but only finished in the top 12 — not exactly a success.
At DPC CN 2023 Tour 3: Division I, Xtreme Gaming repeated the result of the first tour and again placed a disappointing 5th.
Xtreme Gaming roster: Ame, Xm, Xxs, XinQ, poloson.
Before Riyadh Masters 2023, XinQ — a PSG.LGD legend — joined the roster to strengthen the team. However, Xtreme Gaming delivered a similar result to previous tournaments: top 16.
Their journey to The International 2023 – China Qualifier started with a match against Aster.Aries. Despite the 2:0 scoreline, Xtreme had to work hard against the youth of Aster. They looked solid throughout the qualifiers, but didn’t make it to the grand finals — Azure Ray celebrated victory and earned the TI slot.
The 2024 season began more successfully than the previous year. They started at BB Dacha Dubai 2024, finishing 7th–8th. Then came DreamLeague Season 22, where they reached the top 3. After that, Xtreme Gaming won the Elite League.
Their string of strong performances was broken at ESL One Birmingham 2024, where they reached the playoffs but couldn’t go beyond the top 8. Overall, the team’s progress was quite evident compared to the previous year.
Xtreme Gaming shined at PGL Wallachia Season 1. The Chinese team didn’t lose a single map until the grand finals, where they let their guard down: Team Spirit defeated Xtreme Gaming 3-2, stealing the well-deserved title from Ame and company.
Xtreme continued to show a high level of play at DreamLeague Season 23 (top 4) and Riyadh Masters 2024 (top 8). Another great victory came at Clavision: Snow Ruyi, where Xtreme Gaming were crowned champions. However, at one of the most important tournaments of the year — The International 2024 — they placed 6th, which can be considered a solid result. They closed the year with a 3rd–4th place finish at BLAST Slam I.
In 2025, Xtreme Gaming continued to compete at a number of Tier-1 tournaments but haven’t achieved any major successes yet.
At PGL Wallachia Season 5, Xtreme Gaming advanced from the group stage with a 3-2 record, and in the first playoff match they defeated Natus Vincere 2-1. In the upper bracket semifinal, they lost to Gaimin Gladiators 0-2 and dropped to the lower bracket, where they were defeated by Team Spirit 0-2, finishing in 5th-6th place.
Xtreme Gaming performed quite well at Clavision Masters 2025: Snow-Ruyi. In the playoffs, the team secured important victories over Yakutou Brothers, PARIVISION, and Nigma Galaxy, finishing in 3rd place.
At The International 2025, Xtreme Gaming defeated Aurora Gaming 2-0 and unexpectedly beat Team Spirit 2-1.

Team Falcons form
Let's continue our Dota 2 betting tips 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 defeated Nemesis and Tundra Esports.
