Really unlucky what is currently happening at DreamLeague Season25.

Team Spirit is going under massive DDOS attacks in the finals against Team Tundra and the attack is going-on for 2 hours already that simply made Team Spirit org gave up on 2 players in order to be able to play map 4 and guess what ...they solved it for a couple of minutes and then another massive DDOS attack began on Team Spirit players valve account . Now , if this is an exploit based on Steam , then I'm sure Valve will have to say something official about this. 

They have decided to stop the grand finals last night and will proceed tomorrow. This is unexpected and whoever has done the attack to the accounts of larl and collapse, they should do better and just let these people play their dota. We are now getting the idea that it's possible to see such attacks when important games are being played. I cannot imagine if this done during the The International and some attacks have occurred at the very last day of the tournament. 

[rdbase]

Team Liquid is in a dire state, and I don't remember the main team not doing great, but for now, I will be betting for Tundra Esports that may likely get to the finals and I really like their position for the meantime.

Unfortunately, they're always like this with the online tournaments and then return to their usual form once they play at a LAN tournament.
Despite going 1-6 in the second group stage, they still made some good progress because I always remember them never making it past the first group stage.

After you said that, I checked their previous games and their plays at the LAN tournament, and it was really something like that. And their last game between Team Spirit was a close one on the 2nd game, but with the 1st and 3rd game, Team Spirits decided those games for sure I really think that Team Liquid needs some push for me not changing the team but give them chance in making them great as what their last team does when Lasse Urpalainen MATUMBAMAN, Ivan Ivanov MinD_ContRoL, and Kuro Salehi Takhasomi KuroKy was on the team where they dominate the last 2016 to 2018 games but that was a long time ago, right now Tundra Esports is what I am still seeing that may win and in their next game against PARIVISION will be a great game to watch for sure.

Despite going 1-6 in the second group stage, they still made some good progress because I always remember them never making it past the first group stage.

They have been playing with the same roster quite a while so yeah it happened. Same thing happened to Falcons, Im not talking about Sumail Stand-in but their usual roster with Malr1ne. Falcons are still a top tier teams with top 4 capabilities but not the team that would win a tournament anymore
So we got Tundra, PARIVISION, Team Spirit and Chimera as top 4 huh. It feels like this is going to be another Tundra winning tournament again. They have won two major tournament in 2025 and this could be their 3rd. Im sensing PARIVISION might flop again so I might take -1.5 on Tundra tomorrow depending on how good the odds are  

But we can not say for sure that maybe their are changing strategist or maybe chance a team play who know's but I am still making out with the team plays if their are anything that have change,

And yes, Tundra VS PARIVISION is next, and I am also waiting for it to start. For sure, it will be a great game, and right now, Tundra Esports is the favorite, while PARIVISION still has some juice to give in this latest game, and they need to be more agile against Tundra Esports.

Parivision when I began watching their series in the DreamLeague Season 25 were undefeated 7-0 in this tournament.
But since then had loss to Team Spirit having issues with their finance balancing since they lost the first map due to not being able to buy back to continue on and had their base destroyed. It all went downhill from there.

Looks like the finals has started and Team Spirit are leading versus Tundra right now as the match is going live.

For CounterStrike we have ESL Pro League happening and several matches had already been played.

You can watch them live on their official youtube channel below:

Nemgia Gaming just won the first map against MindFreak on their other livestream just now.

They've been group stage merchants for quite a while, and the teams they faced in the playoffs also improved at the near end of the group stage, so it's almost like anyone's tournament to win.

I'm shocked by TYLOO's performance so far, and I hope they make it through because beating EF and 3DMAX in a 2-0 fashion isn't easy for most teams. They're currently 2-1 after losing against GamerLegion and could be in the next set of teams to qualify for the next round if they beat MIBR.

^^
Just started waiting Tyloo vs MiBR for the ESL Pro League XXi tournament day 4 and they are getting humbled by the Brazilians right now on their first map.
In the other match Heroic vs Nemiga Gaming where they have just gone into overtime for the first map in their series of the tournament.

From what I remember the Team Spirit vs Tundra finals match resumes today for DOTA2 DreamLeague season 25 right?

Yup, 1 hour from now, we'll see the 4th map to start again after postponing it on Sunday. Just for the sake of those that haven't followed the DreamLeague Season 25, here's a recap and the placers together with the prize money and club prize money that they have take home. They also get some EPT points for which gives them an invite if ever they reach the points threshold set by ESL.



UPDATE:

1st. Team Spirit
2nd. Tundra Esports

Was this new?


I always go directly to liquipedia for the news, updates, and schedules. But now I see it in just mere googling it like it was an NBA game. I was a bit surprised or was this just for this event?
When I Google NBA games today, I will surely see the schedules and time in the first part and now I can also see the Esports game just like how it is with NBA games. This will be a lot easier for all the supporters of Esports and I hope any event will have the same search results including ECL and Blast.

I used "ESL CS2" at the search page.

Had the exactly same thing show up when I was looking for anything about the DreamLeague season 25 finals and noticed after doing the search in google the result similar to yours came up but for Dota2.
The thing is there wasn't anything showing it was postponed and just had it display as being played live but that was the day they had the ddos attack.

Usually when I want any results of matches being played on CS2 I just go to hltv.org but it is just another thing that google is trying for esports.

ESL pro league stage 2 matches are starting yesterday and following teams are confirmed -




Pain,GL,Furia,3xmax,MIBR,Saw,Tyloo made it from stage 1

some pretty surprising names there

but for some reason the stage 2 matchups arent still out with less then a day left

[passwordnow]

One day and few more hours to go and the PGL Wallachia Season 3 for Dota 2 is about to start. Several hours ago, this page doesn't have anything but now, the organizers have already put the matches on the very first day on March 8. This is another tournament that has a prize pool of a $1M in total and the champion will take home a whopping $300k! That's a lot of money still and it seems that we have no rest at all or if we do, it only takes some days. Any thoughts on these matches? maybe I can copy some of yours. 

[ralle14]

Pain,GL,Furia,3xmax,MIBR,Saw,Tyloo made it from stage 1

Tyloo is the most surprising team for me. We always see Lynn Vision Gaming or FlyQuest as the second Asian team that survives, and now we have Tyloo breaking that trend.

Any thoughts on these matches? maybe I can copy some of yours. 

My initial thoughts on the first round would be to skip or try live betting to catch better odds because the pre-live odds for most matches are one-sided, except for the Heroic series.

[rdbase]

Wouldn't have thought Tyloo won their match while I was watching it but it seemed in the end they did.
Had some urgent things to take care of so couldn't watch until the conclusion but good for them on getting through.

We have a full day of matches in the ESL Pro League season 21 tournament since it is Friday and it has already kicked off with Team Vitality taking on MiBR where they are leveled at one map a piece.

Looking forward to Tyloo going against Spirit starting in a few moments to see what they can do once again.
And of course the MongolZ.

Yesterday's CS2 scene was so packed. The HLTV match page had around 50+ matches from tier 1 to tier 3 tournaments.  

The upsets from the EPL were also interesting. NaVi somehow got reverse swept by Saw when I thought that should've been a quick 2-0 after watching them stomp on Saw's map pick 13-3.

The other one was Eternal Fire throwing away a 10-6 lead on Inferno and then losing badly on their map pick Anubis, which led to a 2-0 win for 3dmax.

First ever edition of LoL first stand will start on monday with just 5 teams playing in first ever international fearless draft tournament



I would hanhwa as the favorites, but i think KC can do something here

I'd imagine it'll be like last year's MSI, with the final leading up to China(TES) and Korea(HLE). They're too experienced when their regions only play bo5 formats, while the others had a mix of bo3s.

I wouldn't mind if KC could put a dent against these teams. They're still a rookie team, so the wildcard factor will always be there, just like how they beat G2 in a 3-0 fashion.

Watched abit of Aurora vs Wildcard for the PGL tournament for dota yesterday so completely missed this one if you had not mentioned it for League of Legends.
Nigma Galaxy is taking on NAVi right now and heard they had a brutal day yesterday as there was alot of cursing for those who took Nigma to win on their betslips.
They are currently 1.50x so lets see if they can keep it together and come through this time.

Dota 2 :

Time for Liquid to disband ? I mean , it's not working out and the guys are simply not clicking with each other and Dota 2 is a game that won't forgive you for not playing as a team and Boxi and INsania are literally hating each other while they are playing on the same team which kinda causes all the problems Liquid is currently having right now.

OG should disband as well and CEB should retire because he is ruining 23Savage career ( a guy who was once called the prodigy of Dota 2  and the first to achieve 13kMMR without double tokens ).

CS2 :

Uhm , just happy to see Falcons doing good but also happy to see Navi not doing so good because CS needs multiple stronger teams and that is exactly what we are getting lately.

I totally agree that they are not really the best team around anymore and considering that they won the last TI, this is just so weird but as we all know Team Liquid play better in an offline tournament so I'd say lets give them the benefits of doubt

Anyway they are still considered as a top team around though, they are currently 2nd in PGL Wallachia and 5th in overall EPT ranking leaderboard so yeah it still works out for them somehow but to consider them as a team that will win a tournament then its totally not within the range of expectation

Not yet, they're doing a good job on the PGL Wallachia, first and second day they've won the series' and that's why we might see them having a good comeback on this tournament. But if it's with the past, you're right that it's no longer working out but let's see if they will fix it.

OG should disband as well and CEB should retire because he is ruining 23Savage career ( a guy who was once called the prodigy of Dota 2  and the first to achieve 13kMMR without double tokens ).

23savage's playstyle doesn't suit the European style. I have no problem with ceb if he's still playing but it shouldn't be position 3 but a support role, he's pretty much helpful with that or just coach these kids. We all know that he's a good motivator and coach.

Team Falcons should've won their series against 3dmax yesterday, but that decider map was a shellacking. NaVi is in a weird spot. They did sweep paiN, still, it wasn't as clean coming from a top team.

Also, Team Liquid had a big upset against Eternal Fire, sending them to the 1-2 bracket where they could be the next set of teams to be eliminated.

[passwordnow]

As we're talking about Team Liquid here, it seems that there is a circulating rumor that some members of the team are likely to retire after this PGL Wallachia. It seems boltz is right about the potential disband or if they won't, then the rumored two members will leave and then they'll replace them immediately once this tournament is done.

“Liquid’s goal is to reach the top 4, if it isn’t achieved, a multitude of roster changes are guaranteed. Nisha might retire, and Boxi could leave with him”
