Online Esports sportsbooks have provided outright odds for this tournament. Here, we disclose the Dota 2 DreamLeague Season 25 odds for the top five contenders at this event.
Tundra is off to a strong start in 2025, with the European organization delivering impressive performances in its last two tournaments. They claimed victory at the FPG Belgrade 2025 event and followed it up with a win at the recently concluded Dota 2 tournament BLAST Slam #2. They’ll be eager to secure a third consecutive title as they head into this event. With players like Neta “33” Shapira, Martin “Saska” Sazdov, and Matthew “Whitemon” Filemon on the roster, Tundra has the firepower to compete and win.
Falcons’ recent lack of tournament wins has caused them to slip to second among the top contenders for this event. However, don’t be mistaken—this team remains a serious threat in any competition they enter. They have an impressive track record here, having won the last three DreamLeague events. Additionally, they’ve placed in the top five in eight of their previous nine tournaments. As the top-ranked team in Dota 2, Team Falcons are in a strong position to claim this title. 2025 Dota 2 betting apps have offered odds of 4.60 (18/5) for Falcons outright tournament win.
With players like Edgar “9Class” Naltakian, Dmitry “DM” Dorokhin, and Volodymyr “Noone” Minenko, PARIVISION is a strong contender in any tournament. The Russian organization has performed well in recent events, reaching the semifinals of FPG Belgrade 2025 and securing a fifth-place finish at BLAST Slam #2. Now, they are determined to claim their first title of the year. PARIVISION has not won a trophy since its victory at ESL One Bangkok 2024.
Since their 1win Series Fall victory in November 2024, Liquid has yet to claim another title. Their best result since then was a runner-up finish at ESL One Bangkok 2024. In their first two tournaments of 2025, they placed seventh— a record they will be eager to improve. However, Liquid has already proven their potential with wins at Elite League 2024 S2 and TI 2024. If they can rediscover that championship-winning form, they can secure their first tournament victory of 2025. Liquid has 7.00 (6/1) odds to win Dota 2 DreamLeague S25.
BLAST Slam #1 winner BetBoom has been poor in 2025. They finished fifth at the FPG Belgrade 2025 and seventh at BLAST Slam #2. Heading to this tournament, they will seek to replicate the tournament run that saw them finish second at the DreamLeague Season 24 in November 2024. With four losses in their last ten matches, BetBoom must improve significantly to secure this title.

During that stretch, they secured wins against Team Falcons twice, Gaimin Gladiators three times, and BetBoom—all formidable opponents in their own right.
