EWC 2025: All qualified Dota 2 teams
From June 5th through June 13th, separate regions participated in regional qualifiers for EWC. Each region was vying for a single spot available to them. Interestingly, China had its own regional qualifier, which coincided with the Asian Champions League. In this event, Xtreme Gaming managed to upset Team Tidebound (now All Gamers Global) by overcoming the odds.
In the unplayed areas, powerhouse teams like OG, Natus Vincere, Team Secret, Nigma Galaxy, and numerous others were fighting for a chance. Regrettably, due to the fact that only one spot was up for grabs in each region, there were inevitably some significant eliminations throughout the competition.
In the Southeast Asian region, it was quite unexpected that BOOM Esports didn’t win the finals of the EWC, which left players like Anucha “Jabz” Jirawong out of the competition. On the other hand, in the Eastern European qualifier, an open qualifier winner emerged, with Alexey “Solo” Berezin’s Cyber Goose team showing surprising control over the games.
