Team Spirit is the only squad with a perfect 4-0-0 record after winning two Group B matches Monday on the second day of DreamLeague Season 25.

Spirit beat AVULUS in 26 minutes on red and 44 minutes on green, then dismissed BOOM Esports in 39 minutes on red and 39 on green. They have a commanding lead over PARIVISION and Chimera Esports, each of whom swept their two Monday matches to get to 2-1-1.

Sixteen teams divided into two round-robin groups of eight are competing in Group Stage 1, with each match consisting of two games. The top four squads from Group A and the top four from Group B will move on to Group Stage 2, while the rest of the teams will be eliminated.

PARIVISION took down Gaimin Gladiators in 40 minutes on red and 58 minutes on green, then swept AVULUS in 66 minutes on green and 36 minutes on red.

Chimera had a smooth day as well. They topped BOOM in 27 minutes on green and 38 minutes on red, then beat Liquid in 37 minutes on red and 36 minutes on green.

Over in Group A, the big winner was BetBoom Team, who tied Tundra Esports for first by winning both of their matches Monday. BetBoom defeated Moodeng Warriors in 26 minutes on green and 28 minutes on red, then swept 9Pandas in 32 minutes on red and 34 on green.

Tundra swept HEROIC in 42 minutes on green and 24 minutes on red before settling for a 1-1 tie with Shopify Rebellion.

Once the eight teams that make it through the opening round of DreamLeague Season 25 get to Group Stage 2 on Friday, they will be put into one single round-robin group, where they will face off in best-of-three matches.

The top two teams from Group Stage 2 head to the upper bracket of the playoffs, the third- and fourth-place teams land in the lower bracket and the remaining teams get eliminated.

The playoffs begin March 1 and feature a double-elimination bracket. All matches are best-of-three aside from the grand final, which is best-of-five. The winning team gets $250,000 and a club reward of $40,000. There will also be 20,440 ESL Pro Tour points distributed to the participants.
