N0tail becomes OG's new coach and vows to build a top team with strong communication skills

Legendary Dota 2 player and two-time International Invitational (TI) champion N0tail officially announced his return to OG as the new coach of the Western European team and the head of the Dota 2 project.

This is the first time N0tail has returned to the competitive system since retiring in 2021, with the goal of qualifying for TI in 2025. In the comeback video released by OG, N0tail said: "We are launching a brand new plan, and I will be the captain of this ship. Not only a coach, but also the core planner of this project."

"I hope we can make it to TI and come out on top. I've played some great Dota, but I know I can do better. The ceiling of this game has not really been touched, and I want to lead the team to challenge that limit."

OG has had poor results in the past few months and has frequently changed players. Since the beginning of the year, they have failed to qualify for DreamLeague and ESL events. The current lineup consists of several trial players, including 423, Stormstormer and Kidaro.

According to external sources, the former No. 4 player daze is suspected to have transferred to the MOUZ team, and OG has not yet finalized the complete lineup. Despite OG's recent poor performance, N0tail still expressed confidence: "We are very close to our goal, and the direction we are heading is very good now."

"I try to build a team that is centered around communication. Not only being able to communicate about the game content and develop strategies, but also being able to play the game with words, rather than having to verify everything in actual combat."

"What I want is a team that can theoretically efficiently. This has not been done in my previous teams, but I want to achieve it this time. I hope that this team can bring out the brainpower of everyone, not relying on one person, but making the thinking and rhythm of the entire team perfectly matched."

OG is facing the challenge of rebuilding, and the return of N0tail has undoubtedly injected new hope into the team. Facing the journey of pursuing the dream of TI, N0tail chose to put on his armor again, just to witness the legend again.
