The Finnish Topias Miikka " Topson " Taavitsainen has nothing more to prove to anyone on DotA 2. With OG since 2018, he has already won numerous tournaments, including two World Championships (The International 2018 and 2019). He would have liked to have achieved the pass of three this year, but it's still not known if there will be a 2020 edition... If the season runs its course, he will however not be there in the OGA Dota PIT season 3. He recently achieved success outside of esports which is also very important: he became the father of a little girl. So he decided to take time for her, for his partner and for him with his family.
The coach will play the role of replacement
Topson unavailable, it's the French coach Titouan " Sockshka " Merloz who will take his place temporarily. A former player, he retired in 2015 and joined OG's technical staff last year. He can count on his knowledge of games and his science of strategy to look good. But nobody is really worried about his level of play. Sockshka has indeed already repaired when one of his players had a problem.
We will therefore find two French in the starting 5 of OG for the next tournament. Since in addition to the player-coach, legend Sébastien " Ceb " Debs has been back in the team since July.
Natus Vincere decided to part ways with a big part of its Dota 2 team as they look to start a new dynamic.
