Following the ban of LGD's Peruvian mid laner for match-fixing, the LGD DOTA 2 division quickly found a replacement, but the outcome surprised everyone. Today, LGD Esports Club announced that Topson, the former OG mid laner who once defeated LGD to defend his championship, has joined LGD. Reality is indeed quite surreal...
At The International 2018, Topson's team OG defeated LGD 3-2 to claim their first TI championship. They followed this up at The International 2019 by beating Team Liquid 3-1, securing a second consecutive TI title and making history.
After losing 0-2 to Team Spirit at The International 2021, he left OG to join Tundra Esports. At The International 2024, he finished in third place after a 1-2 loss to Gaimin Gladiators.

We are delighted to officially announce that, following friendly discussions and negotiations, Topson (Topias Miikka Taavitsainen) has officially joined the LGD Dota 2 roster.
Topson is a world-renowned top-tier mid laner with extensive international tournament experience and exceptional individual skill.
