Team Spirit sweeps Falcons 3-0 to win EWC 2025's Dota 2 tournament
Team Spirit crushed Team Falcons 3-0 in the Grand Final to win the Dota 2 crown at the Esports World Cup 2025. The win marks Team Spirit’s first EWC title, and they did it in full force, not dropping a single game from the playoffs to the final.
The CIS squad went near-perfect all tourney. They drew 1-1 with Xtreme Gaming in the group stage but bounced back hard. They beat Talon Esports and Navus Vincere 2-0, then swept Gaimin Gladiators and PARIVISION in the next rounds. Yaroslav 'Miposhka' Naidenov, team captain, said, 'There is not really much emotions as the Grand Final was not that hard.'
Magomed 'Collapse' Khalilov stood out as the MVP and took home an extra $10,000. The team won $1 million and 1,000 Club Championship points. Aleksandr 'rue' Filin said, 'It feels amazing of course, I’m very happy.’ With full trust in their skill, Illya 'Yatoro' Mulyarchuk claimed, 'I truly think we are the greatest Dota 2 team of all time.'
Team Falcons, though cheered by the home crowd, had no answer for Spirit’s pace.
