The International 2025: a new favorite to win according to fans

Xtreme Gaming have become the main favorites to win The International 2025 according to international fans, after the first stage of the tournament. Fifty percent of fans voted for the Chinese team.

The top three in terms of votes also included Nigma Galaxy and Team Falcons. Notably, Nigma took second place, as many initially did not expect such strong results from the team.

Currently, many streamers and analysts are highlighting the impressive performance of Chinese teams in this tournament and have predicted victory for Xtreme Gaming in their forecasts.

Earlier, before the tournament started, a similar poll was conducted in which over 60% of fans believed that Team Spirit would not lose a single series in the group stage. However, the team failed in the decisive match for a playoff spot, losing to Team Falcons.

It is worth noting that Team Liquid was second in the predictions, but they also failed to advance beyond the first stage. This made the tournament one of the most unpredictable in the history of The International.

The International 2025 takes place from 04.09.2025 to 14.09.2025 in Hamburg, Germany, with 16 teams participating. The starting prize pool for the event is $1,600,000. You can follow the progress of the tournament in detail in the report.

Earlier, Cyberscore reported that Valve congratulated players and summarized predictions for The International 2025.
