The manager of Team Spirit, Dmitry "Korb3N" Belov, said his team would not attend the Dreamleague Season 26 because the schedule was too dense and wanted to take time to rest before the important tournament Riyadh Masters 2025.

Speaking on the Livestream Twitch, Korb3N said: “Many teams withdraw from Dreamleague because they need to rest after a stressful season. Immediately after that is Riyadh Masters 2025 - an extremely important tournament. If the Dreamleague competition ends at the end of May, Riyadh begins in early July, the rest period is only 10 days to 2 weeks, while many players want to take a week or more weekly or more players.”

He also emphasized that the current season is too busy, making the teams almost no time to rest. The withdrawal of Team Spirit and Tundra Esports is to help players have time to recover and prepare more carefully for the upcoming tournament.

Tundra Esports has also confirmed the reason for not attending the Dreamleague Season 26 is to prioritize resting and practicing Riyadh Masters.
