With MelBet Pick’em, you can turn watching The International 2025 into an exciting game by testing your luck and Dota 2 knowledge. The free Dota 2 TI 2025 Pick’em Challenge gives you the chance to predict the champion of The International 2025, and guess the most TOP-picked and most TOP-banned heroes of the tournament. You can also earn points and compete to win a Meta Quest 3 VR Headset grand prize.
To participate in the Dota 2 TI 2025 Pick’em Challenge, you must have an account with the MelBet Mongolia bookmaker. Go to the official MelBet website via the link and register using one of four available methods: one-click, phone number, email, or social media. After signing up, you will be assigned a unique 10-digit MelBet ID code required to register for the MelBet Pick’em.
Go to the official MelBet Pick’em website at pickem-mongolia.com and click the “Register” button. Enter the MelBet ID you received in the previous step, along with a valid email address. This email will be used to activate your Pick’em account and to receive all notifications about results and potential winnings from The International 2025 Pick’em and other CS2 and Dota 2 Pick’em Challenges.
Go to the homepage or the Dota 2 Pick’em section and look for the The International 2025 card among other Dota 2 tournaments of 2025. At the bottom of the card, you’ll find a button that takes you to the Dota 2 TI 2025 predictions. You’ll find the list of participating teams, the tournament format, and the prizes from MelBet Pick’em.
