33 has named the main favorite for The International 2025

Neta “33” Shapira named Team Spirit as the main favorites for the upcoming Dota 2 tournament The International 2025.

The player made this statement on YouTube.

“ Team Spirit is the main favorite.”

Although Neta “33” Shapira believes that the team's final result depends on the players' preparation for the tournament, and there is a fairly long break between Riyadh Masters 2025 and The International, he is still confident that Team Spirit will show a decent result, given the format of the upcoming tournament. The esports player also believes that Team Liquid and Team Falcons have a chance of winning if the teams can return to their peak form.

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

Recall that earlier, Neta “33” Shapira joked with Martin “Saksa” Sazdov after their defeat at Clavision Masters 2025: Snow-Ruyi.
