DreamLeague Season 25 grand final ppd. after DDOS attack

The grand final of DreamLeague Season 25 between Tundra Esports and Team Spirit was postponed with Spirit ahead 2-1 due to an alleged DDOS attack on Sunday.

Members of Team Spirit paused during Game 4 of the best-of-five match because of technical issues, and the grand final was frozen in place for more than two hours. The team then put out a statement saying that the accounts of Denis "Larl" Sigitov and Magomed "Collapse" Khalilov of Russia were targets of a DDOS (distributed denial of service) attack.

The fourth map briefly resumed before tournament organizers announced the grand final's remaining maps would be continued Tuesday.
