eSpoiled manager: "Betting kids who lost 100 rubles and started flaming ssnovv1"

During the closed qualifiers for The International 2025, a controversial situation occurred in the match between eSpoiled and Nemiga Gaming. The carry player from eSpoiled typed "gg", but seven seconds later creeps destroyed Nemiga Gaming's throne. Nevertheless, the admins awarded the victory to Nemiga.

Later, eSpoiled’s manager Tatyana Poppy_Bo Zhuravleva commented on the situation:

I was in the middle of talking like I’m defending a dissertation when the players called me  and chaos broke out. We didn’t break any rules, we played fair. Typed GG, lost — that’s it. And then come the “experts” who lost $10 on bets and blame just one player, ignoring the other nine on the map. No one even noticed the throne fell. It happens.

Support player Vyacheslav asdekor_r Ignatiev also added:

A textbook game where you should never type GG before the throne falls. I’ll remember this for the rest of my life.

The organizers did not comment on the incident, and the result remained unchanged. Nemiga Gaming won the series 2–0 and advanced to the next round of qualifiers, while eSpoiled was eliminated.

The International 2025 will be held from 04.09.2025 to 14.09.2025 in Hamburg, Germany, featuring 16 teams.

Earlier, Cyberscore reported that all participants of The International 2025 closed qualifiers had been confirmed.
