N0tail returns to Dota 2 after three years

Danish Dota 2 legendary player and two-time International Invitational (TI) champion N0tail announced his official comeback and returned to OG's active lineup to replace Lelis who just left the team.

This is N0tail's first appearance as a player since 2023, marking a strong return for one of the most successful players in esports history. For the past three years, N0tail has been managing OG from behind the scenes and took on the coaching role in May 2025 to help the team rebuild.

However, OG's performance in the new season was poor, and within a few weeks, they made another roster change. To stabilize the situation, N0tail personally took the field and returned to his familiar position as the fifth support.

As one of the most representative figures in the history of "Dota 2", N0tail has two TI championships and four Major championships, with a total prize money of more than 7.1 million US dollars. He is still the highest-paid player in the history of global e-sports.

Since retiring in 2021, N0tail has trained a new generation of OG lineup, and together with his old comrades Ceb and Topson, he formed the Old G team to return to the arena. Although it was short, it was of far-reaching symbolic significance.

OG is currently competing in DreamLeague Division 2 Season 1, with N0tail's return being considered a key turning point. Despite their current record of one win and one loss, the team still has a chance to qualify for DreamLeague Season 27.
