In the high-stakes pressure cooker of ESL One Raleigh 2025, emotions boiled over behind the scenes at Tundra Esports — and it seems not even phones were safe.
Following a rough 1-1 draw against BetBoom Team, Tundra’s newly minted carry Remko “Crystallis” Arets revealed some fiery post-match drama in an interview that’s already making waves. After squandering what looked like a surefire win, tensions exploded in the team’s practice room.
“Of course, we threw that map. We should have won,” Crystallis admitted bluntly. “When we got back to the practice room, bzm threw my phone on the floor — I think he was pretty pissed at me. What can you do? It happens. We have to go out on the next map and try to win.”

The phone-smashing fury came courtesy of Bozhidar “bzm” Bogdanov, the team's midlaner, who apparently wasn’t thrilled with Crystallis’ performance in the game that slipped through their fingers. Despite holding a commanding lead, Tundra let it slide, handing BetBoom a window they gladly took.
While fans might expect fallout from such an outburst, Crystallis is taking the incident in stride — no hard feelings, no drama.
Still, the image of bzm launching a teammate’s phone across the room paints a picture of a squad struggling to stay composed under pressure — and with Tundra’s roster still finding its rhythm, all eyes will be on how they bounce back in the next match.
