A major upset occurred at DreamLeague S29, with REKONIX defeating Tundra 2-0.

A major upset occurred in Group B of the DreamLeague Season 29 group stage.

REKONIX, a team from Southeast Asia, defeated Tundra Esports, widely regarded as the strongest team in the world, with a decisive 2-0 victory.

As the club with the best record so far this season, Tundra was initially predicted to win easily, but they were in poor form and made numerous in-game decision-making errors. This result not only boosted REKONIX's confidence but also reignited discussions about the excessively packed schedules and chronic fatigue faced by professional players.

This season's Dota 2 tournament schedule is incredibly packed with top-tier events, often with multiple tournaments in a single month. Players are forced to travel frequently to compete for International tournament points and prize money.

Despite Tundra's four major tournament victories this season, their recent bottom-ranking finish in the PGL Wallachia Season 8 and their unexpected loss to what appears to be the weakest opponent on paper reveal the mental and physical fatigue resulting from the long tournament.

Currently, Tundra still has time to adjust their competitive form, and the outside world is watching to see if they can overcome their fatigue issues and return to their usual level. For REKONIX, this victory against an industry giant is undoubtedly a significant highlight in their team's history.
