DreamLeague S25 finals delayed and sparked controversy

The DreamLeague S25 finals between Team Spirit and Tundra Esports was delayed due to a DDOS attack, which aroused doubts among some Dota 2 fans.

Most fans accused Team Spirit of lying on social media, believing that they deliberately delayed the game to manipulate the results. At the time, Team Spirit was leading 2-1, but in the 4th game, Team Spirit issued a statement explaining that it was attacked by an unknown third party.

According to media reports, Team Spirit players Collapse and Larl encountered account problems. Collapse revealed that he received 100 party invitations and chats per second, and Dota completely crashed due to the excessive number of requests.

However, some fans did not buy Team Spirit's explanation, believing that DDOS attacks would not target specific accounts. Fans even pointed out doubts in Team Spirit's statement, such as the fact that it was initially said to be an FPS problem, but now it has become a DDOS.

Fans also explained that if it was really a DDOS attack, it should affect the entire team of 5 players, not just two. However, regardless of whether it was really a DDOS attack, the DreamLeague S25 finals has been confirmed to be delayed.

Meanwhile, various speculations about the postponement of the game are still fermenting in the comment area, and the focus of public opinion has gradually shifted to the so-called "gambling black hand". Some people speculate that it may be users of the "Dota 2" gambling website who attacked Team Spirit during the finals to help Tundra Esports win, but the current statement has not been confirmed.
