Western European powerhouse Tundra Esports have once again cemented their legacy in Dota 2, claiming their third straight BLAST Slam title after a thrilling 3-2 victory over Team Falcons in Singapore. The intense showdown at the Singapore Indoor Stadium delivered one of the most exciting Grand Finals of 2025, with Tundra rallying from the brink of defeat to secure their historic win.

A Grand Final for the Ages

BLAST Slam IV took place from October 14th to November 9th, 2025, featuring twelve of the world’s best Dota 2 teams. Both Tundra Esports and Team Falcons dominated the Group Stage with matching 9-2 records, but Tundra claimed the top seed after winning their first encounter against Falcons.

The Playoffs saw both squads begin in the semifinals, where Tundra reverse-swept MOUZ 2-1 while Falcons overpowered HEROIC 2-0, setting up a much-anticipated clash between two of Dota 2’s biggest forces.

The Grand Finals lived up to every bit of the hype. Team Falcons, the reigning The International 2025 champions, came out swinging, taking Game 1 in just 38 minutes behind Skiter’s Venomancer and Malr1ne’s Pangolier, who led a dominant 31-9 scoreline.

But Tundra immediately fired back in Game 2. Neta “33” Shapira on Timbersaw and Ivan “Pure” Moskalenko on Faceless Void led an equally one-sided response, tying the series 1-1 with near-perfect team play.

The Turning Point

Game 3 saw Falcons regain control, crushing Tundra 23-2 in only 26 minutes, with Skiter’s Abaddon, Malr1ne’s Monkey King, and ATF’s Doom combining for 20 kills without a single death between them. With the score at 2-1, Falcons looked poised to close out the series and claim the title.

However, Tundra had other plans. Game 4 turned into an unforgettable slugfest, featuring Pure on Morphling, bzm on Queen of Pain, and Whitemon on Bane. Falcons nearly secured victory with a Divine Rapier buy from Skiter, but Tundra pulled off a spectacular base defence, killing Skiter and turning the weapon against him. The Singapore crowd erupted as the series was pushed to a fifth and final game after a 46-minute classic.

The Decider: Destiny Repeats Itself

In a rare and incredible twist, both teams ran identical drafts to Game 4—something that has only happened once before in Dota 2 history. The tension was electric as the final game mirrored the previous one in pace and chaos.

Once again, Skiter bought a Divine Rapier in a desperate push to end the game. And once again, Tundra held firm, executing flawless coordination to repel Falcons’ assault and steal the Rapier for themselves. After 56 minutes of relentless action, Tundra emerged victorious, completing a miraculous comeback and lifting the BLAST Slam IV trophy.

Their triumph earned them US$300,000 in prize money, plus an additional US$100,000 in team earnings, while Team Falcons took home US$150,000 and US$50,000 in team bonuses.

Continuing Their BLAST Legacy

This marks Tundra Esports’ third consecutive BLAST Slam title, following victories in BLAST Slam II and BLAST Slam III earlier this year. Across all four tournaments held to date, Tundra have now claimed three trophies, solidifying their reputation as one of Dota 2’s most dominant modern rosters.

Their winning lineup of Pure, bzm, 33, Ari, and Whitemon continues to impress fans with their tactical depth, clutch mechanics, and sheer resilience under pressure.

What’s Next: BLAST Slam V in Chengdu

Fans won’t have to wait long for the next chapter. BLAST Slam V kicks off on 25 November 2025, featuring an online Group Stage and Play-In phase before heading to Chengdu, China, for the Playoffs at the Wuliangye Culture & Sports Center from 5 to 7 December.

With momentum on their side, Tundra Esports will enter as heavy favourites, but as BLAST Slam IV proved, anything can happen on the big stage.
