TI15 team name changes
You might not recognize some of the team names listed, especially if you’ve been following for the rest of the season. That’s because a number of teams that were associated with gambling companies have been forced to rename due to Valve’s new policies and China’s (host of The International 2025) laws on gambling promotion.
As a result,
BetBoom Team
are competing under
BoomBoys,
1win Team
are playing as
IronWing,
L1ga Team
are playing as
HULIGANI, and
PARIVISION
are competing as
Team Vision.
Big changes ahead of TI15
While most teams are playing with the same rosters as expected, LGD Gaming are heading to TI15 with supersub Topias “Topson” Taavitsainen standing in after the dramatic banning of Santiago “TaiLung” Agüero Gustavo from TI and PGL events.
