New Tundra Esports Roster: Instant Fan Mode Activated
Pure, Bzm, and 33. Name me a core lineup that can top this.
Ever since the Post-TI 2025 Shuffle, there's been rumours of Pure joining Tundra as their new carry. Honestly, Pure is the missing piece Tundra lacked last year. No shade to Crystallis, he's good, can carry games and had good synergy with the team playing tempo heroes. But I'm not gonna lie, the problem was his consistency. That's where things fell short. I do feel bad for his kick, tho. You could tell he was a chill dude, super likeable. Glad he's doing well now with Mouz Esports. But back to Pure — after watching 2 games from Blast Slam IV, holy smokes man. This guy can carry. And he’s flexible too, able to shift into tempo roles when needed. Every win in that Bo1 format is straight-up carry diff. Paired with Whitemon, they are unstoppable. Their synergy's been topnotch, ever since their TI13 run.
There’s just something about this team that brings out Pure’s best form. And mind you, they’ve only been playing together for less than a week. I'm sure they haven't had a proper bootcamp yet, but you can clearly see their potential. Any of those 3 cores can carry a game, and they’re so friggin’ fun to watch.
Then there's Whitemon. I'd say the most successful SEA player that currently plays in EU rn. The guy's just good. Always makes an impact, every game.
Yesterday, during the Tundra vs BetBoom draft, I was kinda disappointed when Quinn called Whitemon “the most glazed player ever”… and then proceeded to glaze him like we didn’t notice. Wdym the most glazed? Bro, he is *him*. I’d argue he was the best position 5 last year. His impact is undeniable. I watch his stream often, I'd say his talent and mechanical skill are top-tier.
As for 33? Well, it's 33. He does 33 things. Beast offlaner. I watch his gameplay often to learn from him, as I myself usually plays pos 3.
Now Ari, I'm not really sure yet. I feel like he might end up being the scapegoat if things go south. But after seeing his Hoodwink in their first game in Blast? I'm sold. I'd still prefer Saksa in a heartbeat tho. Also, I cannot fathom how Saksa went to take a break but proceeds to stand-in for Team Yandex? like what? some say he can't stand Pure, but I do hope he gives it a chance if he ever comes back. On paper, their lineup looks scary strong. Can’t wait to see them dominate future Tier 1 LANs.
