One month ago we were in the worst situation, 1 month of grinding and fighting every day to stay alive, incredible stress all these weeks.
Iโm insanely proud of my team, today we couldnโt push anymore, worst year of my career but we went all the day to the major final ๐ช

Back-to-back-to-back, we ended our journey on top, becoming the first team in the World Championship to achieve V6. We always keep our journey toward unfulfilled dream, and finally, we make it happen. Thank you all for the continued support for the team. Move forward, we continue on for our legacy.

After 6 unforgettable years with Team Liquid, @insan1a is retiring from professional Dota 2.
His story comes full circle after lifting the Aegis at TI 2024, a moment that will always be a defining part of our teamโs history. Weโre so honored to be the team where he chose to close this chapter, and grateful for every year he spent representing us. Few can say they have achieved the pinnacle of their craft, and even fewer can say they did it while being adored by everyone they crossed paths with. Aydin is among that rare few, and every person he interacted with was affected for the better.
Weโll be sharing something special soon to honor his legacy, but for now, we express our deepest gratitude and wish him every success in the future. ๐
@teamliquiddota@iNsan1a From picking gyro, to lifting aegis. Thank you for being part of the scene and all you gave it. Good luck with your next chapter
[#TI2025 Summary ]
In the just concluded The International 2025 finals, we lost to the strong opponent Falcons with a score of 2-3, and finally won the runner-up of this Ti.
This year has been a bumpy one for us. Results fluctuated, roster changes occurred, and we've experienced several periods of uncertainty. Even before this TI, we never imagined we'd make it all the way to the final stage. This runner-up medal is not only the result of every moment of our brothers' dedication on the field, but also the result of countless days and nights of perseverance and dedication.
First and foremost, this achievement goes to our coaches and all the players. It's your perseverance and hard work in the face of adversity that have allowed the team to break through and reach our dreams repeatedly. You've proven that even in the face of adversity, there are still endless possibilities.
Finally, a heartfelt thank you to all the fans who have always supported CN Dota and XG. A special thanks to everyone who responded quickly and fully participated in the support. Your swift organisation and meticulous collaboration within eight hours made us truly feel that this is a team game. Perhaps the reason we love Dota so much is that it always connects us, even strangers, and gives us a feeling and strength that transcends the game.
After five years, we're back on the finals stage. Although we didn't ultimately win the Aegis, we gave it our all. While there are regrets, no matter what challenges lie ahead, we remain passionate and dare to dream.
See you next year in Shanghai!
