Team Nemesis became the first full Pinoy squad to march on to The International (TI) since TNC Predator back in 2019.
The pack of Marc Polo Luis “Raven” Fausto, Eljohn “Akashi” Andales, Mc Nicholson “Mac” Villanueva, John “Jing” Duyan, and James Erice “Erice” Guerra triumphed over also rising Southeast Asian squad Flipster Talon, 2-1, in the regional qualifiers held Monday to advance to the TI 2025 main event.

Nemesis took down Tech Free Gaming, Boom Esports, and Execration en route to the upper bracket final.
For its part, Flipster Talon still has a chance to make it to TI 2025, but either Execration or Boom Esports wants to stand in their way.
The winner of the Execration-Boom Esports series will take on Talon for the last SEA spot in the TI 2025.
