China Closed Qualifier will take place from 2025-06-09 to 2025-06-12. Needless to say, this will be the most fun qualifier to watch. We have old-school Dota players. We have Ame, Monet, Somnus, Paparazzi, Kaka, Ori, etc. We also have the Giant from China Vici Gaming back to business. Let’s see the rosters then:

The YB team looks good, old eLeVeN on 3, BoBoKa support, and Emo on mid. I think they can get a shot.

|---|---|
| Ame | Carry |
| Xm | Mid |
| Xxs | Offlane |

| Player | Position |
|---|---|
| ukiyo | Carry |
| ButterflyEffect | Mid |
| ç”Ÿæ» | Offlane |

When I see RedPanda on support, I always have this feeling that this team will disband after they lose.

Chance: 8.5%

| Player | Position |
|---|---|
| kikiyo | Carry |
| Ori | Mid |
| Yang | Offlane |
| Kaka | Support |

This is the team boys, just look at the roster. Paparazzi, Ori Yang, Kaka, Dy. What else do you need? This is my second favorite team in the qualifiers.
Tearlaments
Chance: 10.4%

| Player | Position |
|---|---|
| YSR-04E | Carry |
| Echo | Mid |
| Srf | Offlane |
| 7e | Support |

Echo and srf plus a mix of people. Top5?

| Player | Position |
|---|---|
| CDR | Carry |
| yChen | Mid |
| Irving | Offlane |
| Xu. | Support |
| LOyd | Support |

Future esports looks like a good team on paper (if you exclude the 3 Giants VG, AR, Xtreme). I can see an upset from these guys.
Team Curtain

| Player | Position |
|---|---|
| Summer | Carry |
| Jimpaot- | Mid |
| Nevermine | Offlane |

Predictions (Team Curtain vs Tearlements)
Team Cutain
| 0:2 |
Tearlements
What do we do here? What is the draft gents? It could go either way, I will favor Tearlaments just because of their mid-laner.
Prediction Correct!
Tearleaments won 2:0. One thing to add is that Echo played absolutely flawlessly in both games.
Predictions (Yakult Brothers vs Excel Esports)
Yakult Brothers
| 2:0 |
Excel Esports
Well, money on YB boys. I feel like YB roster is a little bit underrated.
Prediction Correct!
YB won 2:0. Emo deserves this TI slot. I mean, the guy just carried YB here.
Predictions (Xtreme Gaming vs Vici Gaming)
Xtreme Gaming
| 2:1 |
Vici Gaming
I can’t believe that this match is happening. As much as I love Vici, I believe Xtreme has more experience in the pro scene. However, this is a handicap match. I will go Xtreme 2:1.
Prediction Wrong!
Looks like I had too much hope for Vici Gaming. Yes, I know I am biased here, but Xtreme just destroyed them in both games.
Predictions (Azure Ray vs Future Esports)
Azure Ray
| 2:0 |
Future Esports
You know what I think? What if Somnus qualifies for this TI as well? It would be insane for a player who didn’t play for 1 year to have this run. I must go with AR no matter what.
Prediction Correct!
A easy one for Maybe!
