Tundra Esports took Dyrachyo out of retirement and will be also adding OG’s BZM to their 2025 roster!
It was a quiet end to the year for Anton "Dyrachyo" Shkredov. The young player was removed from the then-successful Gaimin Gladiators roster after their loss in The International 2024 Grand Finals back in September. He even mentioned in his Telegram group chat that he hasn’t been playing much Dota recently. However, Tundra Esports never disappoints—just now, they announced Dyrachyo and BZM as part of their 2025 roster.
The addition of Dyrachyo also means that Egor "Nightfall" Grigorenko is now part of the inactive roster. Despite not securing a trophy with their previous lineup, Tundra still closes the year on a high note, finishing second in the BLAST Slam.
In contrast, the addition of Bozhidar "BZM" Bogdanov was smoother, as Tundra had been actively searching for a midlaner. They had been playing with Artem "Lorenof" Melnick as a stand-in, though this was only a temporary loan that ended on Dec. 10. It turned out to be a happy ending for Lorenof, as he successfully qualified for the FISSURE PLAYGROUND 2025 LAN event with his new team, Chimera Esports.

When are Dyrachyo and BZM playing for Tundra Esports?
With the new year coming, tournament operators are waiting to make announcements on invited teams. Despite that, we can expect Dyrachyo and BZM to be playing for Tundra Esports during the following events:
- DreamLeague S25 WEU Closed Qualifiers (Jan. 9 - 11): 6 invitations pending.
- ESL ONE Raleigh 2025 WEU Closed Qualifiers (Jan. 18 - 20): 6 invitations pending.
- FISSURE PLAYGROUND Belgrade 2025 (Jan. 24 - Feb. 2): 11 invitations pending.
- BLAST Slam II (Feb. 3 - 9): 10 invitations pending.
Tundra Esports will lose 30% of their ESL Pro Tour points for benching Nightfall and adding Dyrachyo. However, no points will be lost for BZM's addition, since he's joining the team after a temporary loan. This leaves the team with 893 points, which is enough to barely stay in the Top 8.
There are still three EPT Tournaments for this season. This means Tundra Esports could still be surpassed by teams like Shopify Rebellion, BOOM Esports and Gaimin Gladiators.
