Team Spirit lost one map in the whole of the Esports World Cup 2025 in Riyadh: 12 won, 1 lost. It came from fifth of the field by our table, the biggest climb of the event, beat PARIVISION 2–0 in the semi-final on July 18, and swept Team Falcons 3–0 in the final the next day.
The field was one of the strongest of the Dota 2 season, with all five top clubs of our table, and two of them fell short: Team Yandex, third of the field, went out in ninth to 12th, and PARIVISION, the table leader, finished third.
The $3,000,000 pool is the second largest of the season, and the $1,000,000 first prize is Spirit’s second-largest payout of the season, behind its win at The International 2026. A year later the event’s Dota 2 pool fell to $2,000,000.
