tUNDRA ESPORTS CLAIM FOUR‑STRAIGHT BLAST SLAM TITLES, SWITCHING CARRIES LIKE A PRO
- tUNDRA Esports seized BLAST Slam II, III, IV and V, each time with a new carry player, a first in the tournament’s short history.
- The team’s grand‑final victories ranged from a flawless 3‑0 sweep in Chengdu to a nail‑biting 3‑2 thriller in Singapore.
A dynasty forged in four tournaments
When BLAST Slam rolled out its inaugural edition in Copenhagen, a modest Eastern European squad called BetBoom Team lifted the trophy, thanks to stand‑in mid‑laner gpk~ replacing the benched kiyotaka.
dyrachyo swept his former team for the title, and did it in a very convincing fashion.

Switching carries, staying dominant
After that triumph, dyrachyo stepped away, prompting tUNDRA to recruit Crystallis as the new carry for BLAST Slam III. The revamped line‑up – Crystallis, bzm, 33, Saksa and Whitemon – faced Team Falcons in a best‑of‑five showdown. tUNDRA clinched the series 3‑1, even as 33 daringly fielded an off‑lane Medusa equipped with Meteor Hammer, Rod of Atos and Radiance.

The carousel didn’t stop there. For BLAST Slam IV, tUNDRA swapped Crystallis for Pure and promoted Ari to replace Saksa, forming a roster of Pure, bzm, 33, Ari and Whitemon. The grand final against Team Falcons turned into a classic, with both sides mirroring drafts in Games 4 and 5. After a seesaw battle, tUNDRA edged the series 3‑2 in front of a packed Singapore arena, cementing the match as one of Dota 2’s most memorable finals.
A flawless finish in Chengdu
BLAST Slam V took the competition to Chengdu, China. tUNDRA, now fielding Pure, bzm, 33, Ari and Whitemon, delivered a dominant performance against Team Yandex, sweeping the final 3‑0. Notably, former tUNDRA support Saksa now played for Yandex, adding a personal sting to the victory.
Across these four titles, tUNDRA demonstrated an uncanny ability to adapt: three different carries, multiple roster tweaks, and yet a consistent winning formula. Their map times and game scores reflected both strategic depth and raw firepower, from the rapid 25‑minute shutout in BLAST Slam II to the grueling five‑game saga in Singapore.
