The second day of the Playoffs The International 2025 has ended. PARIVISION and Team Falcons advanced to the lower bracket final. Tundra Esports and Team Tidebound left the tournament.

In the first match of the day, Heroic sensationally defeated Tundra Esports with a score of 2-0. In the post-match interview, the captain of Tundra Esports - 33 talked about the reasons for his team's defeat:

'Scofield just goes one against five heroes. If he dies, he respawns and goes against five again. Dies again, respawns again, and so on endlessly. While other teams choose a calmer and more academic style of play at The International 2025 - they play aggressively. We were caught off guard, although we knew it would be like this.'

Both maps were easy for Heroic, and Crystallis became the first to lose on Troll Warlord at The International 2025. Before this match, the hero had won 10 out of 10 maps. Recall that Tundra Esports came to The International 2025 with a replacement. The team's support - Whitemon could not get a visa, and instead, they took Tobi for the fifth position.

Nigma Galaxy eliminated Team Tidebound from The International 2025, the match ended with a score of 2-0. Team Tidebound showed a terrible game, it was evident that they were poorly prepared for Nigma Galaxy. On the first map, Bach took Underlord for himself, but instead of buying Crimson Guard, he acquired Pipe of Insight, which made it impossible to counter the physical draft of Nigma Galaxy. SumaiL played mid Muerta twice. In the post-match interview, he shared his emotions and talked about the preparation:

'I still feel the pressure of TI and it's wonderful. Muerta is just a very good hero. I thought she could be picked in mid, and it worked out. I think we are becoming more confident in elimination matches, which makes it easier for us to play'

PARIVISION dealt with the favorites of The International 2025 - Xtreme Gaming in two maps. According to Valve, 50% of users chose Xtreme Gaming as the tournament winners in predictions. The maps were dry, both teams played almost flawlessly. On the second map, Xtreme Gaming surprised with their choice of artifacts. Ame on Bristleback acquired Battle Fury, and Xm on Storm Spirit took Manta Style. At the moment, Xtreme Gaming gained a five thousand advantage and decided to go to the Highground. PARIVISION caught Xm before BKB and easily won the fight. Having many controlled units, PARIVISION skipped packs and farmed key items on all heroes. At 50 minutes, Xtreme Gaming could no longer kill a single hero of PARIVISION, and at 52 - they surrendered.

The support of PARIVISION - 9Class gave an interview in which he talked about the team's tactics:

'We were ready for BF on Bristle, we bought Dominators and split the map to go into the late game and have five cores.'

And Satanic explained why Ame chose a strange build with Battle Fury:

'He is a player who buys BF. If I played on Bristle, I would have a build of Aghanim-Shard-Siya-Satanic. But he, apparently, is a super greedy guy who wants to farm.'

In the conclusion of the day, Team Falcons defeated BetBoom Team. On the first map, Team Falcons had a big advantage but couldn't finish the game. The cores of BetBoom Team went into the late game, where they were much stronger. The heroes of Team Falcons burst in the team fight. On the second and third maps, BetBoom Team faltered at the drafting stage. Pure played on Antimage with KDA 0/7/3 and on Dragon Knight with a score of 0/7/1.
