In a series of moves that have left the Dota 2 community both baffled and intrigued, Tundra Esports finds itself without a Dota 2 roster once again, following the abrupt release of its latest team.
This development comes less than a month after Tundra’s high-profile acquisition of the ex-TSM roster in December 2023, a partnership that many had hoped would mark a new era for the organization.
The recent months have seen Tundra Esports at the center of several unexpected roster changes, raising eyebrows across the Dota 2 world.
The ex-TSM lineup, featuring notable players like Timado, Bryle, kasane, Immersion, and MoonMeander, was seen as a promising addition to Tundra. However, the team’s journey was short-lived. Despite a respectable eighth-place finish at the ESL One Kuala Lumpur Major, Tundra made the startling decision to release 80% of the roster, retaining only Whitemon.
This move has left fans and experts alike speculating about Tundra’s intentions and strategy for its Dota 2 division. The sudden and largely unexplained roster changes have fueled speculation and rumors, with some suggesting that Tundra’s acquisition of ex-TSM might have been a temporary measure to fulfill sponsor obligations as 2024 approaches.
Tundra’s commitment to the Dota 2 scene appears to be in a state of flux.
While the organization seems to be partially withdrawing, the retention of Whitemon hints at a potential desire to rebuild and establish a strong team. The Dota 2 free agent market is ripe with talent, boasting names like Topson, Mind_Control, and Pure. If Tundra were to bring these players on board, they would only need a position four support to complete a formidable lineup.
Interestingly, Tundra has Saksa, a skilled position four player, currently on its inactive roster. Saksa was moved to this status ahead of the team’s TI12 title defense due to health reasons. If Saksa were to return to active play, Tundra could leverage its existing talent to build a robust team around its two supports.
As the Dota 2 community continues to speculate, it’s clear that Tundra is not rushing its decisions.
