Their campaign began with a statement 2-0 win over Team Spirit in the upper bracket, but a 1-2 loss to Team Liquid quickly dropped them into dangerous territory. Undeterred, the Eastern European Dota 2 squad rallied—taking out Natus Vincere (2-0), eliminating Team Spirit (2-1) in a high-stakes rematch, and exacting revenge on Team Liquid (2-0) to book their spot in the grand final.

There, they met a red-hot Gaimin Gladiators squad that hadn’t dropped a series all event. With dominant wins over Tundra Esports (2-1), Xtreme Gaming (2-0), and Liquid (2-0), the Gladiators were the favourites with esports betting sites heading into the best-of-five finale.

But BetBoom had other ideas.

Fueled by standout performances from Danil “gpk” Skutin and Ivan “Pure” Moskalenko, the team opened the grand final with two clinical victories. Gpk dazzled on Queen of Pain and Puck, putting up MVP-worthy numbers and dictating the pace of play. Gladiators fought back in game three behind Quinn “Quinn” Callahan’s Leshrac and nearly pushed a fifth map after dragging game four past the 60-minute mark. But BetBoom’s composure held firm, eventually breaking through and securing the 3-1 win.

It was a poetic finish for Pure, who closed the series with a tribute to his sidelined friend Anton “dyrachyo” Shkredov in all-chat—capping off a title run filled with emotion, resilience, and redemption.

The win not only marks BetBoom’s second LAN title of 2025—following their FISSURE UNIVERSE: Episode 4 victory—but also sends them into the upcoming Esports World Cup with major momentum. Despite roster rumours and playoff setbacks, BetBoom now stands tall as one of the most dangerous teams heading into Riyadh.

For a squad that was nearly written off before the playoffs began, BetBoom Team has once again proved they’re not just survivors—they’re champions.
