Valve has confirmed the line-up of the replacement team for The International 2025.

After withdrawing from the International 2025, the Gaimin Gladiators have found a replacement: the Yakutou brothers.

The International 2025 is only a few weeks away, but the last week has been disastrous for the Gaimin Gladiators. The team, which had received a direct invitation to the prestigious event, made the difficult decision to withdraw. As a result of the drama surrounding their decision, a replacement has been confirmed: the Yakutou Brothers will be the third Chinese team at TI2025.

The Yakutou Brothers will take part in The International 2025

After GG announced their withdrawal from TI2025 last week, The International's official X account published a message this afternoon about their replacement. The message simply says that they will stand by their previous announcement and presents the full line-up of the new visiting team.

The name Yakutou Brothers may seem strange to some, but it's quite obvious what kind of team this is. Although the team remains the same, it has changed its name to Yakult Brothers. Although the team is no stranger to TI, this will be the first time they've played together. Formed just after TI2024, the Yakutou Brothers have a tough road ahead of them.

The Yakutou Brothers' full line-up for TI2025 is as follows:

• Jin "Fly" Zhiyi
• Zhou "Emo" Yi
• Xiang "Fringe" Zhenghong
• Ye "BoBoKa" Zhibiao.
• Chang "Oli" Chong Kien

Although they haven't been at the top of their game since its inception, the Yakutou brothers have a great opportunity to show their skills at TI2025. It remains to be seen whether they'll make it far, but it will be interesting to see if they can pull off some important victories. TI2025 is two weeks away and the venue will be Hamburg, Germany, so the team needs to finalize their preparations quickly.
