After three years of taking a break from the esports scene, the two-time The International (TI) champion, Johan โ€˜N0tailโ€™ Sundstein, will return as OGโ€™s Western European team coach and project lead for the organisation's Dota 2 division.ย 

In an X (formerly Twitter) post on May 6, the team released a short video about his return. In the video, N0tail stated โ€˜We're starting anew, starting with a new project. I'm going to be leading the ship as the coach, also trying to put the project together,โ€™ hinting at a much bigger project to be released in the future.ย 

The International (TI) 2025 preparations

As of now, there are no announcements regarding OGโ€™s roster for the TI 2025. Moreover, Johan hopes to qualify for the upcoming tournament as the new teamโ€™s head coach. 

In an interview, he stated, โ€˜We're hoping to qualify to TI and place in the top. I mean, to play the best Dota in the world for me is the aspiration. It is the goal. I think I got the record, maybe it's still holding, I don't really know.โ€™ 

N0tail has proven himself as a leader when they won the 2018 and 2019 TI championships, but this time, heโ€™ll be the coach instead of a player.
