Tundra Esports refused to attend the Dreamleague Season 26 tournament, resulting in the organizers deducting 20% ​​of EPT (ESL Pro Tour). Their performance was later given to Navi Junior.

This information is officially posted on the ESL website.

Accordingly, Tundra Esports initially confirmed to participate in the tournament, but then suddenly withdrew. This action violates the provisions of the tournament and leads to a penalty. After being deducted, Tundra still has 7050 EPT points and falls from the 5th to the 6th place on the rankings. This is a worrying thing because only the top 8 teams were invited directly to Riyadh Masters 2025 - the prestigious tournament in the professional DOTA 2 system.

Currently, Tundra Esports has not made any official comments on this decision. However, it is likely that they are choosing the same path as Team Spirit: Taking a break to recover and prepare more carefully for Riyadh Masters 2025.

Earlier, Team Spirit also announced to withdraw from a major DOTA 2 tournament for the same reason.
