Tundra Esports Form & Performance
Over the last 6 months, Tundra Esports have remained one of the strongest teams and have demonstrated consistently high results. The analysis should begin from the middle of the previous season.
The analysis should start with PGL Wallachia Season 5. Tundra Esports did not perform as convincingly as in previous tournaments. In the group stage, the team finished with a 3–2 record, and in the playoffs unexpectedly suffered defeats against Gaimin Gladiators and NAVI, exiting the tournament in the top 8.
At one of the main tournaments of the season — Esports World Cup 2025 — Tundra Esports were considered favorites. Despite a decent start, the team failed to fully execute their strategies: they were eliminated in the semifinals and later lost the third-place match, finishing the tournament in 4th place.
During the break between major tournaments, the team also participated in Clavision Masters 2025: Snow-Ruyi. There were not many serious opponents at the event, and as a result, Tundra Esports took 2nd place.
At the main tournament of the year, The International 2025, Tundra Esports were again considered among the favorites, but in the early stages the team looked unconvincing. The roster finished the group stage with a 2–3 record, and in the elimination stage defeated Team Liquid 2–1, advancing to the playoffs.
In the upper bracket quarterfinals, Tundra Esports faced Xtreme Gaming and, despite a solid level of play, lost 0–2. In the lower bracket, the team unexpectedly lost to HEROIC, were eliminated from the tournament, and finished TI 2025 in 7–8th place.
The next tournament for Tundra Esports was BLAST Slam IV. The team immediately started at a high level, winning the group stage with a 9–2 record and advancing to the playoffs. In the semifinals, Tundra Esports defeated MOUZ, and in the grand final they beat Team Falcons, becoming tournament champions.
Unlike the BLAST Slam series, Tundra Esports perform worse at PGL Wallachia. At PGL Wallachia Season 6, Tundra Esports finished in the top 8, just like in the previous tournament of this series.
At BLAST Slam V, the team once again had no equal. In the group stage, Tundra Esports posted a 10–1 record, and in the playoffs defeated their opponents without much difficulty, becoming tournament champions. Tundra Esports are the most successful participants in the BLAST series, having won four times in a row.
At DreamLeague Season 27, Tundra Esports performed slightly below expectations, finishing the tournament in the top 6.
It is also worth noting the high-quality play of Tundra Esports against top teams. The roster confidently competes against teams from the top ten of the rankings.
BLAST Slam VI is the first tournament for Tundra Esports in the 2026 season, and the main question is whether they will be able to win for the fifth consecutive time.
Tundra Esports are among the strongest teams, especially when it comes to BLAST Slam series tournaments. At other Tier-1 events, the team does not always demonstrate consistent performances, but they almost always reach the playoffs. Their main challenge remains versatility and consistency at tournaments with different formats and levels of competition.
At BLAST Slam VI, Tundra Esports’ winning streak came to an end. The team unexpectedly failed to reach the playoffs, finishing in 7th–10th place.
