After several seasons of roster instability and inconsistent results, OG has made a decisive change to its Dota 2 lineup. The organization has brought back Johan “N0tail” Sundstein, its co-founder and one of the most accomplished players in the game’s history, marking his return to active competition after a three-year break.
Earlier in 2025, N0tail had rejoined OG as head coach, guiding a team that continued to search for lasting success. Despite multiple lineup adjustments and new additions, the squad struggled to achieve strong results in qualifiers. The latest move sees N0tail stepping back into a player role, replacing Rodrigo “Lelis” Santos as OG works to rebuild its competitive form.
N0tail returns to competitive Dota 2 with OG
Johan “N0tail” Sundstein has rejoined OG’s active Dota 2 lineup after several years away from professional play. Earlier in the year, he worked with the team as a coach, but his transition back into a player role marks a more lasting commitment. His experience as a two-time The International champion adds strategic depth to a roster seeking stability after a challenging season.
The organization announced that Rodrigo “Lelis” Santos would step down from the team. OG expressed appreciation for his contributions before confirming that N0tail would take over his position. No other roster adjustments were made, suggesting that OG intends to rebuild around its current core with N0tail providing leadership both in and out of the game.
Current OG Roster (as of October 2025):
| Player | In-Game Name | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Indji Lub | Shad | Carry |
| Igor Stojkov | Stojkov | Mid |
| Mihajlo Jovanovic | MikSa` | Offlane |
| Tamir Tokpanov | daze | Support |
| Johan Sundstein | N0tail | Support / Captain |
Although OG will not compete in any remaining Tier 1 events this year, the team continues to participate in DreamLeague Division 2, focusing on regaining form.
N0tail’s return signals a renewed internal drive rather than a short-term experiment. His presence may help restore OG’s coordination and morale, providing the structure needed for improvement heading into 2026. The organization has not ruled out additional roster changes, but for now, the emphasis remains on rebuilding through experience and teamwork.
