33 named the main favorite for The International 2025

Tundra Esports offlaner Neta 33 Shapira said he considers Team Spirit to be the main contender for victory in the upcoming The International 2025. He noted that Spirit has been performing excellently in championships with a Swiss system in the group stage.

"Team Spirit is the main favorite. It's hard to say what kind of form they'll be in. They won the Esports World Cup 2025 and were really strong, but there's a whole month between Riyadh and TI. I think even when they're not in their best form, they perform very, very well in Swiss format tournaments. It seems like they advanced with 3-0 all year, even if they lost later. Obviously, this team is very good at the Swiss system, and now it's a top team. Other than that, I don't even know who to name. Maybe Team Liquid, if they get back in shape. Maybe Team Falcons"

33 also discussed how he differs from Magomed Collapse Khalilov:

"I think we are completely different players. He plays in many styles, but historically he prefers initiators with blinks and less aura. He likes fights, powerful ultimates, and great moments.

I usually like to win in a more consistent way. Even if things don't go your way, even if you miss your abilities, you still win. I think when someone tries to play like Collapse but isn't as skilled, it usually looks pretty bad"

The International 2025 will take place from September 4 to 14 in Hamburg, Germany, with 16 teams participating. The starting prize pool for the event is $1,600,000.

As previously reported by CyberScore, all participants of The International 2025 have been determined.
