How the bookies view it: Xtreme Gaming favorite
Most bookmakers with a slight edge consider Xtreme Gaming the favorite in their match against NAVI at BLAST Slam V. The team is one of the strongest and finished 2nd at The International 2025.
Xtreme Gaming form
Let's begin our Dota 2 betting prediction with an analysis of Xtreme Gaming form. Currently, Xtreme Gaming is the strongest team in the Chinese region and occasionally demonstrates solid performances on the international stage.
At the DPC 2023: China Upper Division, Xtreme Gaming placed in the top 5. For a roster of such caliber, that result wasn’t just disappointing — it was a failure. However, at DPC CN 2023 Tour 2: Division I, they redeemed themselves by finishing 1st.
Xtreme’s decline became even more apparent during the qualifiers for The Lima Major 2023, where the team failed to qualify at all.
Still, Xtreme managed to regroup. They brought in the experienced Kaka as position four and began to show results. With this roster, Xtreme won their regional league. They then traveled to Berlin, where they reached the group stage of The Berlin Major 2023, but only finished in the top 12 — not exactly a success.
At DPC CN 2023 Tour 3: Division I, Xtreme Gaming repeated the result of the first tour and again placed a disappointing 5th.
Xtreme Gaming roster: Ame, NothingToSay, Xxs, fy, xNova.
Before Riyadh Masters 2023, XinQ — a PSG.LGD legend — joined the roster to strengthen the team. However, Xtreme Gaming delivered a similar result to previous tournaments: top 16.
Their journey to The International 2023 – China Qualifier started with a match against Aster.Aries. Despite the 2:0 scoreline, Xtreme had to work hard against the youth of Aster. They looked solid throughout the qualifiers, but didn’t make it to the grand finals — Azure Ray celebrated victory and earned the TI slot.
The 2024 season began more successfully than the previous year. They started at BB Dacha Dubai 2024, finishing 7th–8th. Then came DreamLeague Season 22, where they reached the top 3. After that, Xtreme Gaming won the Elite League.
Their string of strong performances was broken at ESL One Birmingham 2024, where they reached the playoffs but couldn’t go beyond the top 8. Overall, the team’s progress was quite evident compared to the previous year.
Xtreme Gaming shined at PGL Wallachia Season 1. The Chinese team didn’t lose a single map until the grand finals, where they let their guard down: Team Spirit defeated Xtreme Gaming 3-2, stealing the well-deserved title from Ame and company.
Xtreme continued to show a high level of play at DreamLeague Season 23 (top 4) and Riyadh Masters 2024 (top 8). Another great victory came at Clavision: Snow Ruyi, where Xtreme Gaming were crowned champions. However, at one of the most important tournaments of the year — The International 2024 — they placed 6th, which can be considered a solid result. They closed the year with a 3rd–4th place finish at BLAST Slam I.
In 2025, Xtreme Gaming continued to compete at a number of Tier-1 tournaments but haven’t achieved any major successes yet.
At PGL Wallachia Season 5, Xtreme Gaming advanced from the group stage with a 3-2 record, and in the first playoff match they defeated Natus Vincere 2-1. In the upper bracket semifinal, they lost to Gaimin Gladiators 0-2 and dropped to the lower bracket, where they were defeated by Team Spirit 0-2, finishing in 5th-6th place.
Xtreme Gaming performed quite well at Clavision Masters 2025: Snow-Ruyi. In the playoffs, the team secured important victories over Yakutou Brothers, PARIVISION, and Nigma Galaxy, finishing in 3rd place.
At The International 2025, Xtreme Gaming started very confidently. The team defeated Aurora Gaming 2-0 and unexpectedly beat Team Spirit and Team Falcons 2-1. In the final match of the Group Stage, Xtreme Gaming overcame another Chinese team, Tidebound, 2-0 and reached a 4-0 record, becoming the first team to qualify for the playoff stage of the tournament.
In the first playoff match, Xtreme Gaming defeated Tundra Esports 2-0, but unexpectedly lost to PARIVISION 0-2 in the Upper Bracket Semifinals. Xtreme Gaming redeemed themselves after the previous round’s loss with a 2-0 victory over Nigma Galaxy in the Lower Bracket Quarterfinals.
In the Lower Bracket Semifinal, Xtreme Gaming defeated BB Team, and in the Lower Bracket Final they defeated PARIVISION. In the grand final, Xtreme Gaming played a very interesting match against Team Falcons but lost 2-3 and took 2nd place at the tournament.
At PGL Wallachia Season 6, Xtreme Gaming performed below expectations and didn’t even manage to reach the playoffs, finishing in 9th–11th place.

NAVI form
Let's continue our Dota 2 betting tips with an analysis of NAVI form. Almost every gamer has heard of this legendary esports organization. NAVI is one of the pioneers of competitive gaming, especially in Dota 2, and they were also the winners of the first-ever The International.
NAVI roster: gotthejuice, Niku, pma, Zayac, Riddys
It’s worth noting that NAVI recently made changes to their roster. Several players from NAVI Junior, who have shown better performances this season, will be promoted to the main lineup. However, not all of the new players will be participating at PGL Wallachia Season 5.
In 2023, although Natus Vincere remained a well-known name, they did not compete at the highest level. They began the season by playing in DPC EEU 2023 Tour 1: Division I and Tour 2, finishing in 8th and 7th place respectively. After that, they played in several Tier-2 and Tier-3 events, with a notable highlight being their victory in DPC EEU 2023 Tour 3: Division II.
They failed to qualify for The International 2023, finishing 3rd in the regional qualifiers, and continued to participate in lower-tier tournaments.
The 2024 season was slightly better for the team. NAVI started the year by playing through a series of qualifiers and managed to secure a spot at DreamLeague Season 23. However, their performance at the event was disappointing — they only managed to defeat Azure Ray and finished in 11th-12th place.
NAVI started showing improvement at Clavision: Snow Ruyi, where they finished 4th. After that tournament, the team once again took part in regional qualifiers and qualified for PGL Wallachia Season 2, which turned out to be their peak performance in 2024. At that event, NAVI finished the group stage with a 3-1 record and advanced to the playoffs. In the lower bracket, they defeated Infinity 2-1 and Nouns Esports 2-0, ultimately securing 4th place at the tournament.
In 2025, Natus Vincere again played a bunch of qualifiers, but not very successfully. On the Tier-1 stage, they played only at PGL Wallachia Season 3 where they took 9-11th place, and on the Tier-3 stage, they won at CCT Series 8.
However, NAVI Junior played an incredible game this year. They took 1st and 2nd place at CCT Series 6 and CCT Series 7, took 7-8th place at PGL Wallachia Season 4, and most importantly managed to qualify for the Esports World Cup and The international 2025, so now NAVI Junior will become the main squad and replace the current Natus Vincere squad.
At the Esports World Cup 2025, NAVI performed at the expected level. In the group stage, the team managed to secure 2nd place in their group, but in the Elimination Stage they lost to Team Falcons and dropped out of the tournament, finishing 9th-12th.
At the biggest Dota 2 tournament of the year, The International 2025, NAVI disappointed their fans. The team managed to secure only one victory, against HEROIC 2-0, while the rest of the matches, although played decently, ended in losses, leaving them in 14th-15th place.
A new stage for NAVI began in the autumn season: the team changed their coach and successfully performed at DreamLeague Season 27: Western Europe Closed Qualifier and RES Unchained: BLAST Slam IV Europe Closed Qualifier, winning and earning slots at the main tournaments.
At BLAST Slam IV, NAVI performed quite well. In the Group Stage, the team played with a 6-5 record and even managed to defeat Team Liquid. However, in the Play-in, the team lost and was eliminated from the tournament, finishing 7th-8th.
At PGL Wallachia Season 6, NAVI played slightly below the expected level and finished in 9th–11th place.
