The Greatest Underdog in Esports History

  • We all remember OG’s incredible TI win last year.
    From the anime-grade betrayal that was Fly and s4’s departure, to OG’s insane run from a last place ranking to the Aegis, OG’s story was the stuff of dreams are made of.
    But the thing that made it all that much more incredible was their twenty-year-old rookie midlaner. Not only was he picked up just three months before TI, Topias “Topson” Taavitsainen had virtually zero LAN experience before setting foot on the biggest stage in Dota.
    Thanks to one tournament, this quiet and unassuming Finn went from streaming in his bedroom to shaking hands with the President.

    man, every man on OG is an anime protagonist
    NoTail: the kinda dark betrayed man story arc, where his best friend betrays him and breaks his promise, until he comes back gets revenge and fulfills his dreams
    Ana: the redemption story arc where he was considered a failure, but comes back to prove all the doubters wrong
    Ceb: also redemption arc, but also the leader that believed in his friends, kept them together through hardship and pushed them to victory
    Jerax: The friendly face who finally explodes and destroys the competition
    Topson: the unproven rookie, given a chance by a team out of its prime, who becomes that unknown element that finally helps them win

The way he plays dota is indeed unusual, how he can adjust to any situation, topson is a game changer in dota pro scene, not just topson, the whole og team is breaking the meta and drafting and became the most overpowered team in history of ti.

      Topson is for sure one of the most entertaining players to watch, because he is an active player. I mean, thats true for OG as a whole, they are a fighting team.

    Topson's flashy plays with Invoker against EG and Monkey King against LGD was widely praised. His failures with Invoker against LGD and Zeus against EG was criticized. But for me, there are two well defined plays that Topson made which can be called the best plays of TI8 that went under the radar.
    1) The insane defense of the ancient and subsequent gg push against LGD in the upper bracket finals with Arc warden. Essentially pulling off a 2v5 defense with Spectre and later on a 2v5 offense with Earthshaker.
    2) His actions during the now famous moment when Ceb made his Axe call on Grand Finals game 4. Blinking in and hexing Ame forced fy to use his snowball save which left Ana free to kill somnus. And when the snowball was rolling, he cast icewall in the perfect position with max quas before dying so that all LGD heroes were literally unable to move, setting up their positioning for the big call from Axe

    TI8 was so much hype it had more feels on it when I look back on TI3. only the two TI's that played all 5 games. The story with OG amplifies it further. I swear it almost made me cry when Notail held the aegis in his arms.
    I think the unknown factor is a really good edge on big tournaments like these. In TI's, top teams study each other enemy teams to prepare well for the games against them. This is why LGD tried to dumpster Topson every game.

    Sumail/miracle mids are farm centered thats why they having trouble syncing with their carry but topson’s mid isnt farm centered. He creates space for ana. That’s why he is the best at mid (teamwise not individual skill wise)

      Yeah, this is so true, topson basically ruins all of his enemy's lane by roaming, just look at ti9 final, miracle got a hard time because of topson

      Lamunedo Nein Unless he plays arc warden. But I agree topson As a midlaner he is so Good at making space and forcing mistake.

    What differentiates Topson from other pro players is his decisions are very unpredictable. The way he plays is hero will make someone say he is gone nuts but this man knows the heroes that he picks.
