Tundra Esports officially announces shutdown: what's next for the project

Following the transfer of its entire roster to 1Win Team, Tundra Esports announced that it will no longer operate professional teams. The organization shared the statement on its social media accounts.

Instead of competing in esports events, the club will focus on content creation, news coverage, and the development of its media platform.

We have come a long way together, and our community is the best thing we have. We value you far too much to simply shut down our social media channels and disappear. That is why we are staying with you, but in a different format.

The organization was founded in 2019 and is owned by Russian-British businessman Maxim Demin and his son, Maxim Demin Jr. Among notable shareholders and ambassadors is Dutch footballer Virgil van Dijk. Over the years, the club has been represented in several esports titles, including Fortnite, FIFA, and Rocket League.

Tundra achieved its greatest success in Dota 2. Since entering the professional scene in 2021, the team has earned more than $14,800,000 in prize money and won several major tournaments, including The International 2022.

Notably, the decision to step away from the professional scene came during one of the most successful seasons in the organization's history. Over the past eight months, the team won DreamLeague Season 28, BLAST Slam IV, BLAST Slam V and ESL One Birmingham 2026.

Despite these results, the club's former sporting director stated that the sale of the players was a necessary measure due to financial difficulties and was effectively the only viable option.

As a result, the entire roster moved to 1Win while retaining its slot and invitation to The International 2026.

Earlier, Cyberscore reported that Alexander TORONTOTOKYO Khertek had left OG.
