Sounds interesting @passwordnow !
Hope they get as far next in the Predator League.

They are doing well, they're now in the upper bracket finals and if they win against Myth Avenue Gaming then it moves them to the grand finals.
And only three teams left on this predator league but these games are only resuming on January 11.

While checking for a deposit made earlier this week on my main casino noticed that G2 Esports is their official global betting partner.

They must of just recently had this addition since there was another graphic in this spot last time I logged into the casino less than a week ago.

Haven't seen their new uniforms with the site's logo and will be watching their next game to see if I can spot them on the arm or front of the shirts.

I haven't checked this but these partnerships are usual now in the scene, for esports and even in the usual sports like basketball, football and the other common sports that everyone loves to play with. I hope we get more of these partnerships that have announcement threads here in the forum too.

I wanted to comment on KSCERATO. He came in 9th place, an individual ranking he only achieved once before, in 2022. Since then, he'd only been outside the top 10. A great year for him, and I believe he's the only Brazilian representative on the list.

Is there still room for Molodoy on this list?

Maybe Molodoy has a chance in the top 6 because he did not appear yet and I think he is better than some players on the list. But if he is not then changes to be top 5 are very low and he should not be regarded anymore in the top 20

We can see YEKINDAR in the top 15 also from furia, so far the only 2 players

Yes, I asked about Molodoy precisely because Yekindar is on the list and KS too. So it's quite likely that Molodoy or Fallen will appear. But I don't expect to guess their exact position; just their appearance would be great.

The expectations were correct! Molodoy is in the Top 6 of the HLTV list. The question remains whether Fallen will also be on this list, which would practically have the entire Furia team among the best, cementing their status as the best Brazilian team for another year. What do you think? Will Fallen make the list?

Wow, very nice news

There is a big chance fallen will show now because like I said for the molodoy case, he did not show up in any position and he is definitely in the top 20. He is the mind from furia and the pillar of the team and brazil cs2

Top 5 again makes him a historical player of the game

It would be a nice award for another Brazilian to receive during this run that FURIA was on during the latter half of last year.
This list should conclude in the next few weeks so we should have it show who made the top players awarded for 2025 right before the first major starts in the CounterStrike campaign for this year.

All of the top predictors in the leaderboard don't have Fallen in their top five, so it's not looking good. The fifth is already revealed to be sh1ro, then the fourth hints at m0nesy, and then ropz, donk, and zywoo for the last three spots.

I haven't checked this but these partnerships are usual now in the scene, for esports and even in the usual sports like basketball, football and the other common sports that everyone loves to play with. I hope we get more of these partnerships that have announcement threads here in the forum too.

True, it's so common that even a few of the top teams coincidentally have the same betting partner, and some of them might've had no choice after Valve banned skin gambling sites on the jerseys of CS2 teams.

Top 5 was revealed to be sh1ro from Team Spirit. Maybe he can still have a chance to be top 4 but idk with every position we can think of other many good players that accomplished more the last year and played better to be in the top 5. If not top 4 I don't think he can be top 1-3 with players like donk, zywoo, ropz, monesy and more missing still.

[boltz]

Is MouZ the best team in Dota 2 right now ? I would say yes and I'm proud to be a Dota 2 fan now when we actually finally have other teams than Spirit/Liquid who can play godlike Dota 2 but also have a great chemistry between players.

Biggest news is that Team Aurora kicked Toronto and Oli from their team and I can fully understand their decision to kick Oli but also Toronto because even if they didn't play bad at all , it their farming style that keep their team under pressure and all this pressure was upon Nightfall every game as no matter how hard he tries to win , his team doesn't give him great timings to put his farm in valor.

I agree, it seems very unlikely that Fallen will finish in any of those remaining spots. But molodoy in the top 6 was more than enough to close/start the year for FURIA. Three of the team's players were in the world's Top 20. I believe it's been quite a while since that happened.

Now for the top 4 is was revealed to be monesy. We can say with certaint that fallen is not there.

I think he did not shine like the other players in the team but he was the reason for the resilience and growth so he could be the master in the behind the scenes where he worked for the team and for the players. The team mates should be very thankfull to him and this is enough for a man that is near retirement any day now.

Yes, that's their take on how to react with that ban and so, a partnership and sponsoring has also become a part of the sports/esports industry. Just want to give an update about the dota2 DreamLeague WEU qualifiers, the first time to qualify to the main even is Mouz! What a good team and they seem consistent. There will be three slots for this region and there will be more tomorrow.

I guess boltz is right about Mouz being the best, or at least in this WEU qualifier since it's never an easy task to beat Falcons.

I'd assume Liquid should be the next team to qualify later today, unless they also fumble this series against Zero Tenacity, which is like a tier two stack at most.

Over at the EEU qualifiers, Aurora and 1win are already in the lower bracket after they lost against Rune Eaters and BetBoom. It's already shaping up like a free qualifier spot for BetBoom.

Mouz made beat Falcons but I think that whoever wins on the bracket side of Team Falcons will be easy on them. I agree about Team Liquid, Zero Tenacity is improving but this might be a Team Liquid game but who knows, we want to see some twist and some new names in the main event. I wonder why it is only in China region that qualifies also in the ESL One Birmingham if they qualify for the DL28.

Good news for the Furia fans! Molodoy from Furia won ROOKIE OF THE YEAR #HLTVAwards 2026

https://x.com/HLTVawards/status/2010095963969593474

Congratulation to him on rookie of the year and also top 6 of this year

We will have the player of the year later today

[rdbase]

The wait is finally over!

Player of the year for 2025 is Zywoo. I was just about to say that it had to be somebody on the Team Vitality roster before checking if the announcement was made today.
And low and behold it was shown as a final set of winners just an about an hour ago.

https://www.hltv.org/news/43610/top-20-players-of-2025-zywoo-1

Watch a bit of Dota today and seen a heavy favorite Virtus.Pro lost their match,
Think I saw them with odds of 1.05x right before the match started.
So who was the team they lost too having such low odds?
What tournament was this for? The Blast Slam major which is currently going on right now?

If so, that is pretty disgraceful of them to lose so badly the way they did being up 6-0 at one point on one of the last maps of their match.

They lost yesterday against Zero Tenacity and they moved down to the lower bracket against Nigma.Galaxy. And today, they've won against Nigma.Galaxy and they're moving next against Team Falcons. Whoever wins this TF/VP game is moving to the main even of the Blast major.

If so, that is pretty disgraceful of them to lose so badly the way they did being up 6-0 at one point on one of the last maps of their match.

They did 2-0 against Nigma but I don't think that this will be the same on them if it's going to be with Team Falcons. And there's a rumor I think that kiyotaka will go back to VP to replace Abed. I'm not sure about that, it's just a rumor from the dota 2 community.

Expected, Ropz being third was more exciting, he has been winning insane trophies on every team he has been on. Crazy crazy number of trophies won in his career.
Absolutely in the GOAT convo just cuz of that, he makes every team a winning one.

BLAST tourn is finally starting on Tuesday, however first stage will be online only

Yeah, only you were talking about their Dota2 bets on here so don't know who beat VPro was all. So it was Zero Tenacity, a team I not familiar with at all.
So who won from their match during the Blast Slam yesterday?
From my past viewing of these two top familiar teams matches in the past, I would sway towards a Team Falcons victory if I were betting on this one.

Ropz has been through alot of teams in his CounterStrike career.
So he does deserve any awards they are giving to him with the experience he has gained over the years.
He is like one of those kind of players that is the backup support or even as far to say the glue of the entire team he is apart of.

Very good to know when the Blast major is starting so to kick off the new season of the year.

[passwordnow]

Yeah, only you were talking about their Dota2 bets on here so don't know who beat VPro was all. So it was Zero Tenacity, a team I not familiar with at all.

It was a tier 2 team and yet, both still lost in the end.

So who won from their match during the Blast Slam yesterday?

For the specific of this DreamLeague qualifier and not Blast Slam, in the WEU. There were 4 teams.

• MOUZ
• Team Liquid
• Natus Vincere
• Team Falcons

These are the teams that will go to the main event next month with a prize pool of $1M.

From my past viewing of these two top familiar teams matches in the past, I would sway towards a Team Falcons victory if I were betting on this one.

You're right and they were able to qualify and I thought that VP will kick them out but it didn't happen.

One detail I noticed is that ZywOo has been among the top 3 best players of the year since 2019. Now that's consistency over 6 years. It's fair that he's where he is now. And looking at the awards and statistics, he maintains a very high level. He's truly unparalleled.

He is one of the kind

3 major win with 3 mvp

And mvp in so many other leagues with 7 mvps in 2025 alone. He is always in the top 3 of the best teams every league he plays with vitality.

Very interesting also that the dream team choice is just vitality but with donk as opener
