EWC 2025: All qualified Dota 2 teams
Regional qualifiers for EWC took place from June 5 to 13. Over this period, 6 separate regions competed to claim a single spot available to each. While China also found themselves with a regional qualifier, this took place as the Asian Champions League event, where Xtreme Gaming defied the odds to take down Team Tidebound (now All Gamers Global).
The remaining regions saw teams such as OG, Natus Vincere, Team Secret, Nigma Galaxy, and many more in contention. Unfortunately, with only one slot available for each region, there were bound to be some major casualties along the way.
On the Southeast Asian front, the biggest surprise came when BOOM Esports failed to secure a grand finals victory. Leaving players such as Anucha “Jabz” Jirawong on the sidelines of the EWC. While for the Eastern European qualifier, we witnessed an open qualifier winner, with Alexey “Solo” Berezin’s Cyber Goose squad’s shocking dominance.
