In a welcome letter to Team Spirit to invite them to attend ESL One Raleigh 2025, ESL offered some contexts related to the team Spirit not attending Dreamleague Season 26.

The organization posted screenshots of the letter content on their official telegram channel.

“Sorry Team Spirit, it seems that we are not close lately. We used to think that there is a bit of some cohesion.
Is it because of what happened in the Grand Final final? But in the end you are still the winner! The long stops seem to be your 'specialty'.

Now we understand. You are obsessed with the invitation to play so much that I am afraid to receive an additional Dreamleague invitation. Just reasonable.

Not angry. Forget Dreamleague. You have brought us the most booming matches in Bangkok, and we are anxious to see the 'Spirit Miracle' in Raleigh. "

The ESL One Raleigh 2025 Organizing Committee has a gentle comment that the DreamLeague Season 25 final is interrupted may be related to this decision. Team Spirit used to be the victim of a cyber attack in the final - the match was planned for a few days but finally had to postpone.

It should also be emphasized that Team Spirit leadership then made an explanation for the decision not to attend Dreamleague Season 26.
