The grand final of DreamLeague Season 25 between Tundra Esports and Team Spirit was postponed with Spirit ahead 2-1 due to an alleged DDOS attack on Sunday.
Members of Team Spirit paused during Game 4 of the best-of-five match because of technical issues, and the grand final was frozen in place for more than two hours. The team then put out a statement saying that the accounts of Denis “Larl” Sigitov and Magomed “Collapse” Khalilov of Russia were targets of a DDOS (distributed denial of service) attack.
The fourth map briefly resumed before tournament organizers announced the grand final’s remaining maps would be continued Tuesday.
The $1 million Dota 2 event had reached its final day following two group stages. Previous matches were best-of-three before the best-of-five grand final. The winning team gets $250,000 and a club reward of $40,000.
Spirit advanced to the grand final earlier Sunday by sweeping PARIVISION 2-0 in the lower-bracket final, winning in 49 minutes on green and 64 minutes on green.
PARIVISION, which went undefeated in Group Stage 2 to earn the top seed, settled for third place.
