The first finalist of The International 2025 has been decided

Team Falcons secured a spot in the grand final of The International 2025 by winning the upper bracket final against PARIVISION. The series ended 2-1, sending the Russian squad down to the lower bracket final, where they will face the winner of BetBoom Team vs Xtreme Gaming.

The first map of the series went easily to PARIVISION, but Team Falcons managed to tie the score on the second. Notably, in this game Russian support Edgar 9Class Naltakyan picked Centaur Warrunner, on which he had maintained a 100% win rate in professional play before this match against Falcons.

The decisive third map was controlled by the Falcons from the start. Even after the 40-minute mark, they held a clear advantage. However, Alan Satanic Galyamov, playing Juggernaut, combined with his midlaner on Storm Spirit to pull off a great fight on their base. This allowed PARIVISION to even out the game, despite still being behind in net worth.

Subsequent skirmishes were extremely cautious: both teams traded heroes, waiting for mistakes. In the end, it was PARIVISION who made several critical errors, which secured victory for Team Falcons.

After the match, Team Falcons’ midlaner Stanislav Malr1ne Potorak shared his emotions and impressions. He also spoke about his first feelings on stage and how the team adapts their style to opponents.

When we first stepped on stage, I almost had tears in my eyes. I worked very hard to get here, and now I’m in the final. We messed up against XG, but overall the game was even. I remember surviving with barely 100 HP in one fight. We try to play faster, because it’s easier against this team
