Pure named the main reason for BetBoom Team's unexpected exit from Riyadh Masters 2025

Ivan “Pure” Moskalenko said that although BetBoom Team dominated the first half of the decisive map against Tundra Esports in the Riyadh Masters 2025 playoffs, their opponents were able to seize the initiative due to a series of silly mistakes made by his teammates.

The player made this statement on Twitch.

"I don't know. We controlled the third map for almost the entire game. And then I don't know... we made some stupid decisions. Tundra is a good team, they also tried to win. That fight in mid when my BKB was in the courier... They did everything they could. That's why they won. We made stupid mistakes — that's why we lost."

Nevertheless, Ivan “Pure” Moskalenko said that fans should not expect significant changes in the team due to their elimination from the Riyadh Masters 2025, as the team managed to get into the top 8 strongest Dota 2 teams in the world. The player also noted that, although the defeat was a disappointment for the team, BetBoom Team will try to show a more respectable result at The International 2025.

"I don't think this elimination will change much. We are a top team, we play against the eight best teams in the world... Damn, I don't know what to say, man. What is this...

We will try to give our all at TI. This is a huge disappointment for us, no doubt about it."

BetBoom Team had a gold lead of over 11,000 by the 34th minute of the decisive map, but then Tundra Esports gradually began to take the initiative, finally changing the course of the game in the 41st minute.

Earlier, Vitaly “Save-” Melnik stated that the long break between matches after a successful group stage could negatively affect BetBoom Team's form.
