N0tail returns to Dota 2’s competitive scene as OG’s team coach
After three years of taking a break from the esports scene, the two-time The International (TI) champion, Johan ‘N0tail’ Sundstein, will return as OG’s Western European team coach and project lead for the organisation's Dota 2 division.
In an X (formerly Twitter) post on May 6, the team released a short video about his return. In the video, N0tail stated ‘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,’ hinting at a much bigger project to be released in the future.
The International (TI) 2025 preparations
As of now, there are no announcements regarding OG’s roster for the TI 2025. Moreover, Johan hopes to qualify for the upcoming tournament as the new team’s head coach.
In an interview, he stated, ‘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.’
N0tail has proven himself as a leader when they won the 2018 and 2019 TI championships, but this time, he’ll be the coach instead of a player.
