A pair of best-of-three tiebreakers helped determine the final order of Groups C and D at the Dota 2 Esports World Cup 2025 on Friday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

In Group C, Aurora Gaming defeated Tundra Esports 2-1 to clinch first place and a coveted double bye in the elimination phase. PARIVISION defeated HEROIC 2-1 to determine second place in Group D.

The Esports World Cup 2025 is the final championship of the third season of the ESL Pro Tour. Previously known as the Riyadh Masters, the Esports World Cup takes place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and has a prize pool of $3 million, with $1 million as well as 1,000 club points going to the team that’s crowned champion on July 19.

The format consists of three phases: a group stage (July 8-11) of four groups of four teams competing in a round-robin, an elimination phase (July 12-13) formatted into a gauntlet bracket that rewards top finishers from Phase 1, then a final playoff stage (July 16-19), which is single elimination.

All matches in Phase 1 are two games, while the matches in Phases 2 and 3 are best-of-three until the best-of-five grand final.

On Friday, Aurora swept Virtus.pro (38 and 37 minutes, both on red) and Tundra blanked Team Yandex (40 and 27 minutes, both on red) to land in a tie atop the Group C standings. In the tiebreaker, Aurora sandwiched a 32-minute win on green and a 54-minute triumph on red around Tundra’s 39-minute win on green.

Group D saw a pair of 1-1 ties, with PARIVISION drawing with Shopify Rebellion and HEROIC splitting with Team Liquid. That left Liquid as group winners with two wins and a tie, but PARIVISION and HEROIC, both 1-1-1, went to a tiebreaker.

PARIVISION opened with a 32-minute win on green, HEROIC answered with a 39-minute victory on green and PARIVISION needed more than 61 minutes to pull out the decisive third map on red.

The tournament continues Saturday with the start of the elimination phase:

–Xtreme Gaming vs. Execration

–Team Yandex vs. Shopify Rebellion

–HEROIC vs. Talon Esports

–Team Falcons vs. Virtus.pro

Fantasy Football: 10 players to avoid

Estimated reading time: 30 minutes In an ideal world, every NFL skill player will match their best season or outperform it in 2025. Unfortunately, we know that won't happen, making fantasy football projections a tough job. It often stems from regression. The root could be age, injury concerns or some combination of the three. However, once a player becomes a household name, their average draft position doesn’t fall as far as it should, making them a player to avoid. Every player listed here is one that I wouldn’t select until at least a full round after their current ADP. The average draft position listed is from a consensus between ESPN, Sleeper and Yahoo! for where the player is picked on average in a 12-team, redraft league.

‘The best is yet to come’ for Raducanu despite Rybakina humbling at US Open

Former British No 1 Tim Henman believes the best is yet to come from Emma Raducanu despite her chastening US Open defeat at the hands of Elena Rybakina.Raducanu had breezed through to the third round in New York, winning her first two matches for the loss of only six games, but here she was on the receiving end as former Wimbledon champion Rybakina powered to a 6-1 6-2 victory in just 62 minutes. The loss brings to an end a season of what might have been for Raducanu at the Grand Slams, with the 22-year-old having failed to progress beyond the third round at any of them, having run into Iga Swiatek twice, Aryna Sabalenka and now Rybakina.
