Team Spirit shattered the predictions of tens of thousands of Dota 2 players: what happened

Team Spirit shattered the predictions of tens of thousands of Dota 2 players with an unexpected defeat to Xtreme Gaming, which is why they will no longer be able to finish the group stage of The International 2025 with a 4-0 result.

Many Dota 2 fans - according to various estimates, up to 70% of the community - were confident that Team Spirit would win TI14 and go through the group stage without a single defeat. However, the two-time world champions lost to Xtreme Gaming, destroying all predictions.

This greatly upset some players, because only the best TI14 predictors will be able to claim a unique treasure and in-game gifts from Valve as part of the 2025 Compendium.
