In a post-match interview, 4nalog spoke about the significance of this result for South America, the team’s bold approach to drafts, and the energy coming from their fans.
Heroic ’s breakthrough marks a turning point for South American Dota. While Peruvian squads had previously been the region’s flagbearers, Brazil had never managed to reach such heights on the international stage. By breaking into the top 6, Heroic not only rewrote history but also established themselves as one of the sensations of TI2025.
The Core of the Story
After the decisive victory that locked in their historic placement, 4nalog did not hide his emotions. For him and his teammates, this run is about much more than one tournament:
Feels very good to be here. It's like a dream for all of us and much love for everyone supporting us in home here. It's so nice to represent this South America. Let's go.
Heroic have been one of the most entertaining teams of TI2025, known for their fearless picks that have kept fans and opponents on their toes. 4nalog explained that this boldness is at the heart of their identity:
Yeah, we have to be bold. We are here to prove themselves. So, yeah, we have to be men and pick whatever we want. First pick Pudge, pick Brood, Caps or coaches trusting us. The players are trusting themselves also. Mongo is doing a very good job. Thanks, everyone.
And in true fashion, 4nalog closed his remarks with words for the fans, crediting the atmosphere and support as a driving force for the team:
First, thanks everyone that's here. It's super. It's amazing to be here. The hour of this arena is so insane. Thanks everyone in home that's cheering for us.
Heroic ’s run to the top 6 of The International 2025 has become a landmark not only for Brazil but for the entire South American Dota scene. For the team, it signals new opportunities on the horizon, while for the global competitive community, it is a powerful reminder that bold ideas and fearless play can still rewrite the tournament’s history.
