At the end of The International11, Tundra Esports looked untouchable. At the conclusion of the Dota 2 Pro Circuit Winter Tour 2023 and the subsequent Lima Major, we could see cracks forming in their armor. Now the DPC Spring Tour 2023 is in full swing and those cracks have turned into full-blown holes as Tundra Esports were victims of a massive upset and dropped their biggest series so far to Ooredoo Thunders.
The relatively new Qatar-based team full of fresh faces took down the reigning TI champions in a clean 2-0 victory during their series in the Spring Tour of the DPC. As shocking as this loss was to players and fans everywhere, no team can stay dominant forever. This huge victory brings Ooredoo Thunders one step closer to securing a guaranteed spot at the upcoming Berlin Major.
