Tundra Esports refused to play in the tournament and received a penalty

Tundra Esports refused to play at DreamLeague Season 26, because of which the organizers fined them 20% of EPT points, and their slot was given to NAVI Junior.

This is reported on the official ESL website.

It is noted that Tundra Esports first confirmed their participation in the tournament, but then refused. This was the reason for the penalty according to the rules of the competition. Now the team has 7050 EPT, and they have dropped from 5th to 6th place in the leaderboard. It's worth noting that these points are important for getting a direct invite to the Riyadh Masters 2025, which only the first 8 teams in the rankings get.

The club has not yet commented on this decision, but perhaps the squad decided to follow the example of Team Spirit and take some time off to recover and train before the Riyadh Masters 2025.

Recall that earlier Team Spirit refused to participate in the prestigious Dota 2 tournament.
