Team Spirit’s Big Win in DreamLeague Season 25
Team Spirit had a fantastic ending to DreamLeague Season 25! They beat Tundra Esports in the final match, winning 3-2[1][2]. This was a huge deal because it had been 10 months since they last won a tournament[2]. But the final match had some problems. There were DDoS attacks that made it hard for Team Spirit to play, so they had to postpone some games[2][3].
The Road to Victory
Team Spirit’s journey to the championship was not easy. They did really well in the first group stage, winning 12 out of 14 games[2]. But in the second group stage, they faced tough competition and finished third with 9 wins and 7 losses[2]. In the playoffs, they had to fight hard. They came back from behind to beat Chimera Esports and then won against PARIVISION to reach the grand final[2].
Stars of the Team
Illya “Yatoro” Mulyarchuk played amazing throughout the tournament. He had a super memorable game where he played Nature’s Prophet and got 18 kills and 14 assists[2]! Magomed “Collapse” Khalilov also played really well, especially with his Faceless Void strategy in the offlane[2].
Dealing with Trouble: The DDoS Attacks
The final match was disrupted by DDoS attacks that targeted two of Team Spirit’s players, Magomed “Collapse” Khalilov and Denis “Larl” Sigitov[4][5]. This made them postpone game four and play it again on March 4. Despite these challenges, Team Spirit stayed focused and won the championship in the last game. They even had a huge lead in kills, 36-7, and won in just 35 minutes[3]!
What This Win Means for Team Spirit
A Big Comeback
Team Spirit’s win in DreamLeague Season 25 is a big deal because it’s their first win since June 2024. They also earned $290,000 and 4,620 ESL Pro Tour points, which will help them in future competitions[2][3]. This win shows how resilient and smart they are, and it’s a great start to the year!
