The electrifying atmosphere of The International 2025 in Germany has reached a fever pitch, and one team has definitively carved its path to the ultimate confrontation. Team Falcons, after a spectacular run through the Upper Bracket, has secured its coveted spot in the Grand Finals. At the heart of their success, their indomitable offlaner, Ammar “ATF” Assaf, is not just confident; he`s practically radiating it.
ATF`s Bold Declaration: “Easy Grand Final”
In the high-stakes arena of Dota 2`s premier tournament, where pressure can turn titans into trembling rookies, ATF`s post-match comments following their decisive victory over PARIVISION were anything but reserved. Taking to his Telegram channel, he distilled his team`s triumph and his personal feeling into a few choice, characteristic words:
“Hello, how are you? I am good [I dominated the opponent]. Just [insane]. Easy grand final. Tomorrow we will play against BetBoom Team, Xtreme or PARIVISION. Very interesting. I hope we win. I hope… Yes, I will do it. I hope you support and share your energy.”
For those unacquainted with ATF, a statement like “easy grand final” might raise an eyebrow or two. However, within the esports community, it`s understood less as hubris and more as a defiant assertion of unwavering self-belief from a player known for his aggressive, impactful style. This confidence is clearly rooted in Team Falcons` dominant performance, which not only secured their Grand Finals berth but also guaranteed them a minimum prize of $342,000.
The Final Ascent: One Series from the Aegis
Team Falcons` journey through The International 2025`s Upper Bracket has been a masterclass in strategic depth and individual clutch plays. Their victory against PARIVISION wasn`t merely a win; it was a powerful statement of intent. By winning the Upper Bracket Final, they now hold a crucial advantage: they will face their final adversary with fresh minds, having navigated the least strenuous path to the championship series. The mental and tactical benefits of avoiding the grueling Lower Bracket gauntlet cannot be overstated.
The Grand Finals loom large, and as ATF himself noted, the identity of their final opponent remains shrouded in the fog of war. The Lower Bracket is a brutal crucible, and any of the remaining contenders – be it the formidable BetBoom Team, the tactical prowess of Xtreme Gaming, or even a determined PARIVISION fighting their way back – could emerge, battle-hardened and hungry for glory. This uncertainty only amplifies the anticipation, setting the stage for what promises to be a legendary conclusion to TI2025.
The International 2025: Germany`s Epic Showdown
Running from September 4th to 14th, The International 2025, hosted in Germany, is more than just a tournament; it`s the pinnacle of competitive Dota 2. Sixteen elite teams from across the globe have converged to battle for the coveted Aegis of Champions. This year, the prize pool, already substantial at a minimum of $2.6 million, boasts a unique dynamic: its final sum is directly influenced by the sales of exclusive in-game bundles featuring tournament participants and casters, a testament to the community`s direct impact on the event`s grandeur.
With ATF spearheading their offlane, Team Falcons has demonstrated not just skill, but also the mental fortitude and audacious confidence required to claim the ultimate prize. As they prepare for the most significant series of their careers, ATF`s call for fan energy is more than a plea; it`s an invitation to be part of history. That “easy grand final” comment might just be a testament to the meticulous preparation and sheer talent Team Falcons brings to the table. All eyes will undoubtedly be fixed on Germany for the thrilling culmination of this epic tournament.
