Team Spirit analyst comments on critical bug in The International 2025 qualifiers

Mark “sikle” Lerman said that Valve ignored the Queen of Pain bug for too long, which is why it appeared in the official match between Yakult Brothers Yakult's Brothers and Xtreme Gaming in The International 2025 qualifiers.

The Team Spirit analyst commented on the bug situation on Telegram.

“Let me remind you about the bug with Queen of Pain against high resist status (usually, Aeon Disk will be in the game). The bug marinated for 3 months to occur in today's official match — Yakult Brothers vs Xtreme Gaming.”

During the match between Yakult's Brothers and Xtreme Gaming, the bug occurred with Zhou “Emo” Yi, whose Queen of Pain became immortal with 1 HP after respawning due to the bug. As a result, the organizers restarted the match from the 42nd minute — before the fight in which Queen of Pain died.

As a reminder, PARIVISION players were previously spotted using a bug on Io in an official match at DreamLeague Season 26.
