TUNDRA ESPORTS vs HEROIC

Best Odds: Tundra -227.27 at BetOnline | HEROIC +162 at SportsBetting
When: September 12, 2025 | 10:00 CEST
Watch Live: Twitch

Tundra Esports boast veteran stability, crisp lanes, and reliable mid-game calls. HEROIC lean on aggressive tempo, but they need a perfect start to unsettle Tundra’s layered drafts. If Neta “33” Shapira controls objectives and Bozhidar “bzm” Bogdanov finds mid priority, the favorites’ structure should prevail.

However, HEROIC have good upset potential and can prolong the series with sharp rotations, so playing the over in the total maps market is a good play.

TEAM TIDEBOUND vs NIGMA GALAXY

Best Odds: Tidebound -277.78 at BetOnline | Nigma +200 at BetOnline
When: September 12, 2025 | 13:00 CEST
Watch Live: Twitch

Despte a rough outing against Team Falcons in the upper-bracket quarterfinals, Team Tidebound remain one of China’s cleanest macro teams in Dota 2. Nigma Galaxy shine when Sumail “SumaiL” Hassan and Maroun “GH” Merhej set the pace, but the team often loses composure in late fights.

Tidebound’s stable lanes and stronger Roshan control will keep them ahead throughout the series.

XTREME GAMING vs PARIVISION

Best Odds: XG -175.44 at BetOnline | PARIVISION +125 at BetOnline
When: September 12, 2025 | 16:00 CEST
Watch Live: Twitch

Xtreme Gaming are unbeaten at TI 2025, thriving on Wang “Ame” Chunyu’s scaling cores and Lin “Xxs” Jing’s commanding fights. PARIVISION impressed in the group stage and swept HEROIC, but they must dominate lanes to disrupt XG’s late-game play.

If Xtreme Gaming dictate the tempo around Roshan and towers, their momentum will help them roll to a clean semifinal result.

TEAM FALCONS vs BETBOOM TEAM

Best Odds: Falcons -277.78 at BetOnline | BetBoom +200 at BetOnline
When: September 12, 2025 | 19:00 CEST
Watch Live: Twitch

Team Falcons come in hot after dismantling Team Tidebound in their opening playoff clash. Their balance of lanes, teamfight layering, and Stanislav “Malr1ne” Potorak’s initiations give them flexibility.

BetBoom Team are steady but risk surrendering map control if Ivan “Pure” Moskalenko and Danil “gpk” Skutin are pressured early. Falcons’ composure in decisive brawls points to another confident series win.
