DOTA 2: When asked about the best player and team of the year, rivals almost all voted for Falcons.

The TGA awards ceremony has concluded, and HLTV, a prominent figure in the CS2 community, is currently selecting the best players in the industry. The top spot has not yet been announced. While industry recognition is undoubtedly the highest honor, the true victory lies in the support of the people. Everyone witnesses your growth, your skill, and your achievements—how you transform from a rookie into a formidable opponent. On the field, you may be enemies, but off the field, you can be friends. The title of "arch-rival" is ultimately a public relations stunt. Although you play for different teams, there are still many aspects of each player you can learn from. GosuGamers has decided to interview several players to get their opinions on the best team and player of 2025.

First, let's talk about the best player of 2025. Skiter nominated ATF, praising their immense effort this season as captain, a role with numerous responsibilities that they perfectly fulfilled. Nightfall also cast his vote for them, stating that ATF's ability to play all heroes and handle both drafting and captaincy is something not everyone can do. Falcons, as expected, boasts a wealth of talent, with their player Malr1ne nominated by BOOM for winning MVP throughout the year. Additionally, Yatoro chose Noone, praising his outstanding performance since returning to the top tier.

For the best team of 2025, there is no doubt that everyone praises Falcons. Yatoro added that they are a top team with unique strategies. BOOM and 33 made the same choice. It is a pity that they did not win the major tournament, but they successfully advanced every time. Only Slacks chose the dark horse team Heroic. He is a loyal fan of the niche route. In particular, his remarks after the T1 match were very touching.
