Dota 2 legend n0tail doesn\u2019t rule out return to action The InternationalDota 2 icon Johan \u2018n0tail\u2019 Sundstein has benched himself from this year\u2019s OG roster, but he doesn\u2019t rule out a return to competitive play. If there\u2019s one name every Dota 2 fan (or even avid esports fan) knows, it\u2019s n0tail. The OG legend has stamped his name into the history books with back-to-back The International (TI) victories and four Major wins, marking himself as the most decorated player in the game\u2019s esports history. He also holds the record for the most prize money won at over $7.1 million, according to Esports Earnings. Coming into 2022 off of the back of a disappointing TI10, where the squad placed seventh, n0tail has traded in competitive play for a supportive role, ultimately benching himself in order to mentor OG\u2019s 2022 team. However, the bench may not be his home forever as the Danish icon has refused to rule out a return to action. n0tail discusses decision to bench himself Chatting to Dexerto about the team\u2019s future, he noted that while he\u2019s \u201csuper excited\u201d to spend a year out of professional play and that \u201cevery day is a blessing,\u201d he doesn\u2019t rule out the possibility of a return to The Map. \u201cI have my two puppies, I have so many other things going on that I\u2019m very excited to take this year off,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019re going to be more mature after a year and, depending on what things look like, I could always return to do whatever I want to do; whether it\u2019s playing, coaching, or managing.\u201d Confessing that \u201cI\u2019ve wanted to do this [take a year out] for a while,\u201d he concluded that it is \u201cplaying out better that I hoped.\u201d And yes, we did ask what type of puppies he has. \u201cThey\u2019re mix,\u201d he laughs. \u201cThe labrador shines through a bit, you can definitely see the lab in them, but they\u2019re very mixed so it\u2019s kind of hard to tell what all of it is.\u201d So while nothing is set in stone, we may see the return of Dota\u2019s king coming into 2023. Until then, though, he\u2019s happy chilling with his furry friends in sunny Portugal (for a glimpse at OG\u2019s bootcamp mansion be sure to check out n0tail\u2019s Red Bull Unfold episode), compiling strats to help OG snatch the crown at TI 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
