Tundra Esports entered Dota 2 <\/em>during the first season of the 2021 Dota <\/em>Pro Circuit by signing Fata and the mudgolems stack. And now, the organization is committing to building a successful culture around that roster by signing all five players to long-term contracts through 2024. <\/p>
In a competitive scene like Dota<\/em>, it isn\u2019t uncommon for contractual details to remain private knowledge between players, managers, and organizations. But even without that knowledge being public, a three-year contract should still easily be one of the longest tenures given to any player and this might be the first time it’s happened for an entire roster, too.<\/p>
But because of the team\u2019s early success in Tundra\u2019s first season in the scene, the organization is ready to press onward alongside this group.\u00a0<\/p>
\u201cWe\u2019ve seen the potential these players showed and immediately recognized the talent they have,\u201d Tundra co-founder Anthony Graham said. \u201cTheir rise to success and the ability to bounce back from setbacks make us believe they are a winning combination. The players\u2019 drive to succeed directly corresponds with Tundra\u2019s strive to become the best esports organization out there, so it felt only natural to continue working with them.\u201d <\/p>
With its entry into the scene, Tundra quickly cemented themselves as a threat to challenge any top team in Europe. In season one of the DPC, the team barely missed out on making it to the first Major via tiebreakers and managed to remain in the upper division in season two despite some early struggles. <\/p>
At the conclusion of the WePlay AniMajor, Tundra prepared to make a run in the EU qualifiers for The International 10. And even in a stacked field that included Team Liquid, Team Nigma, and several other veteran teams, Tundra came just one game short of upsetting the two-time defending TI champions OG and making it to Dota\u2019s <\/em>biggest stage.\u00a0<\/p>
Following that, Tundra continued competing in various tournaments, winning ESL One Fall 2021<\/a> over a short-handed PSG.LGD roster and placing third at the OGA Dota <\/em>PIT Invitational behind LGD and Team Spirit.\u00a0<\/p>
