Our representative Aurora has secured a playoff berth at the TP World Championship (TWC) 2025, defeating VENOM 2-1 in the Group B decider match.
Continuing their strong tournament tradition, Aurora once again earned a spot in the playoffs. In a hard-fought series against VENOM, they relied on their experience to advance, sending their opponents home in disappointment.
The series began on Nuke, and it looked like it would be an easy sweep. Wicadia, alongside XANTARES, put on a show, leading Aurora to a comfortable 13-2 victory. However, that success may have led to complacency, as the following Overpass map told a completely different story.
Despite winning the pistol round on Overpass, Aurora couldn’t maintain momentum. A lost eco round followed by a 9-0 streak for Venom saw the first half end 2-10. Even after the side switch, Venom maintained their lead, crushing Aurora with a lopsided scoreline.
Many Turkish fans expected a quick 2-0 finish and were shocked by this collapse — but Aurora’s composure and experience paid off.
On Mirage, despite a shaky start, Aurora managed to close the first half on even terms. Once they switched to the CT side, they took full advantage of site control, going on a 7-0 run that sealed the map with ease.
While the Overpass disaster raised concerns about elimination, Aurora’s tier advantage ultimately prevailed.
Aurora’s star Ali “Wicadia” Haydar Yalçın delivered a standout performance, recording 55 kills and 28 deaths, finishing the match with a 1.76 rating and 106.1 ADR, alongside a +6.10% swing rate.
With this performance, Wicadia currently ranks as the Top 1 player of the tournament, boasting a 1.40 rating average over 8 maps, outpacing his closest rival yuurih (1.25 rating) by 0.15 points.
