Critical Dota 2 bug stopped The International 2025 qualifiers mid-match

Zhou “Emo” Yi, a Yakult's Brothers player, encountered a bug at The International 2025 qualifiers that made his Queen of Pain immortal with 1 HP, causing the match to be stopped.

The situation occurred during the confrontation between Xtreme Gaming and Yakult's Brothers.

The thing is that Sonic Wave Queen of Pain launched infinite damage reflection into the aeon and killed Queen of Pain, after which he respawned with 1 HP. The thing is that now the hero's health value does not change in any way, making the hero immortal, because of which the game was paused.

It is also worth noting that this bug is more than three months old, and about the principle of its operation even wrote Mark “Sikle” Lerman, Team Spirit analyst, but Valve has not fixed it.

Recall that earlier Miroslav “Mira” Kolpakov named the main imba of patch 7.39b, which single-handedly demolishes the line.
