Fly Breaks 12-Year Streak After Missing Out on The International 2025

Veteran Dota 2 player Tal "Fly" Aizik, representing AVULUS, has shared a heartfelt message following his team’s elimination from the closed qualifiers for The International 2025. This marks the first time since 2013 that Fly will not be participating in the prestigious TI tournament.

“We’ve been eliminated from the TI qualifiers, and my streak has come to an end,” Fly wrote.“Thank you to everyone who supported me and my team — and good luck to the rest!”

Fly's consistent presence at The International over the past 12 years has made him one of the scene’s most respected and enduring figures. His absence this year will be felt by longtime fans and followers of competitive Dota 2.
