In a thrilling turn of events, Team Spirit emerged victorious over Tundra Esports in the postponed grand final of DreamLeague S25. The intense bo5 series ended with a final score of 3:2 in Team Spirit's favor.
The match unfolded over two separate dates, with the first three games taking place on March 2. However, the excitement was marred by unforeseen circumstances during the fourth game. DDoS-like attacks targeted Spirit's players through a Steam exploit, leading to the game's cancellation with Team Spirit holding a significant advantage.
After a brief hiatus, the competition resumed on March 4, with Tundra Esports securing a quick victory in a 26-minute match, leveling the score to 2:2. The ultimate showdown witnessed Team Spirit taking an early lead and skillfully capitalizing on their advantage to clinch the victory.
This remarkable win marks Team Spirit's first triumph since reuniting with Yatoro and Collapse. The squad had been longing for a trophy since June 2024, and this victory is a testament to their dedication and teamwork. On the flip side, it is a significant setback for Tundra Esports following the addition of Anton 'Dyrachyo' Shkredov. Speculations are rife about the carry's potential departure from the team in the coming days.
The DreamLeague Season 25, held online from February 16 to March 4, featured a million-dollar prize pool distributed among 16 competitive participants. Team Spirit's impressive performance secured them $250k in prize money and 4,620 EPT points, propelling them to the coveted second position in ESL's rankings, just behind Parivision.
