NAVI Junior to Replace Tundra Esports at DreamLeague Season 26

The organizers of DreamLeague Season 26 have announced that Tundra Esports has withdrawn from the tournament, despite previously confirming participation.

As a result, the organizers penalized the team by deducting 20% (1763) of their EPT points. Tundra Esports also lost their guaranteed invite to the Esports World Cup, although they still maintain considerable mathematical chances of qualifying.

Tundra Esports will miss out on a direct EWC invite based on the EPT ranking only if AVULUS, Nigma, and Shopify finish 3rd, 2nd, and 1st respectively at DreamLeague Season 26.

NAVI Junior will take Tundra Esports' spot at DreamLeague Season 26.

DreamLeague Season 26 will run from May 19 to June 1. The total prize pool is $1,000,000.
