Group B is Insane – Tundra Favoured
Out of all the groups, Group B seems to be the most thrilling on the TI standings.
Up until a few days ago, Tundra Esports would have been clear Dota 2 TI winners for this group after finishing fourth at Riyadh Masters 2024. However, considering their recent roster issues with a stand-in playing for them, this group is suddenly wide open.
Diving into Dota 2 after signing Entity in July, this roster has shown promise with multiple Tier 2 victories this year such as at FISSURE Universe: Episode 2.
Hailing from China, G2xIG is the experimental union between G2 and Invictus Gaming, yielding a mixed bag of results. Managing to finish in the top 8 of multiple international tournaments, their best achievement was a 4th place finish at PGL Wallachia Season 1.
Ranked at the bottom of this Group happens to be the best Southeast Asian team after winning the Closed Qualifier.
Depending on how Tundra Esports shows up, this Group could be wide open and influence the Dota 2 TI brackets.
Can Xtreme Stop Gaimin Gladiators?
For the most part, the remaining Groups all present with clear favourites according to our TI Power Rankings.
While Gaimin Gladiators and Xtreme Gaming are the Dota 2 TI teams favoured to own Group A, we’re expecting a tough match-up for first place.
According to the Dota 2 TI betting odds, Gaimin Gladiators are favoured after winning the Riyadh Masters 2024 tournament. It is worth noting, however, that GG hasn’t been very consistent all season long, falling outside of the top 5 on multiple occasions.
In terms of consistency, Xtreme Gaming has them beat. All season long, this new Chinese giant came to play with regional dominance and some international victories such as Elite League Season 1 and Games of the Future 2024.
With both teams having a fair shot at winning this group, the match between them should be epic.
Can Liquid Not Finish Second?
There is a running joke over at the Liquid came about constantly finishing second at international tournaments.
Last season they finished second a painful five times at international tournaments. This season, they’ve extended this run to two second-place finishes.
Now, after winning Elite League Season 2, Liquid is favoured to once again finish second in Group D under Team Spirit.
Whether or not they can take down the tournament favourites Team Spirit depends on individual match-ups, picks and bands for Dota 2 TI heroes and counter-stratting their rivals appropriately.
