Falcons Claim The International 2025 Title
Falcons became the champions of The International 2025, defeating Xtreme in a tense grand final with a score of 3:2.
For Falcons’ coach Aui_2000, this victory was historic: he became the first person to win the championship title three times — once as a player and twice as a coach. Meanwhile, for Ame from Xtreme, this marked his third defeat in a The International grand final, having previously lost to Spirit and OG.
The triumph of Falcons is particularly impressive given their previous results: before this championship, the team had lost 4 out of 5 grand finals in 2025, including the summer EWC final — the second most prestigious Dota 2 tournament after The International. This victory at TI14 became a long-awaited breakthrough.
The winners earned not only the title but also a large cash prize of $1.14 million. Xtreme took home $348,100 for second place.
The Falcons roster included Skiter, Malr1ne, AMMAR_THE_FUCKER, Cr1t-, and Sneyking, while Xtreme featured Ame, Xm, Xxs, XinQ, xNova, and coach xiao8.
The International 2025 was held in Hamburg from September 4 to 14, with a starting prize pool of $2.39 million.
