Recently, coach and analyst Luis “peacemaker” Tadeu made a dashboard of the participants of IEM Dallas 2025, which starts on May 19 in Dallas , USA, during a stream. In his prediction, peacemaker put Team Falcons in the first place, stating: “Falcons will be the champions of IEM Dallas ”. In his opinion, the team, led by NiKo and m0NESY , who have reunited as a team, has every chance of winning the title due to its strong roster and tactical training.
Tier list: Who else is on the list?
In Tier CHAMPIONS, apart from Falcons, peacemaker has not placed any other team, which emphasizes its confidence in their superiority. The PLAYOFF CONTENDERS Tier includes G2, Vitality , The MongolZ and Mouz , which, according to the analyst, are capable of showing a good game but have problems with stability. G2 will already play with a full lineup and without replacements, which can bring them back to high positions. Mouz , on the other hand, recently lost in the semifinals of BLAST Rivals Spring 2025 to Falcons, but still remain competitive.
Vitality , who are the best team this year, may play worse because they have already won a lot, and it often happens that after the rise there will be a decline, and given that Falcons almost stopped the bees at the last two tournaments, this may be the case now.
In the COULD MAKE PLAYOFF tier, peacemaker placed Liquid, Faze with s1mple , and aurora , who are considered to be the middle of the pack, but can surprise in some matches and reach the playoffs.
Why are Falcons the favorites?
Falcons are showing strong form: at BLAST Rivals Spring 2025, they reached the finals, losing only in a tense series (2-3). The newly recruited m0NESY is showing impressive results, and the support from the rest of the team adds to their stability. peacemaker noted during the stream their ability to dominate key maps such as Mirage and Dust2, which could be a decisive factor at IEM Dallas 2025.
Intel Extreme Masters Dallas 2025 takes place from May 19th to May 25th in the United States, featuring a prize pool of $1,000,000.
