23savage Temporarily Rejoins Talon Esports

Southeast Asian Dota 2 superstar carry Nuengnara “23savage” Teeramahanon has officially rejoined Talon Esports after a 1.5-year hiatus from the organization.

The Thai player will take over the position 1 role previously held by John “Natsumi” Vargas, reuniting with former Southeast Asian teammates Rafli “Mikoto” Rahman (from his time at Talon) and Carlo “Kuku” Palad (from T1).

23savage was a key part of Talon Esports’ dominant 2023 Dota Pro Circuit squad, which secured Southeast Asia’s spot at The International that year. He later left the team and joined Aurora, competing with them from November 2023 to September 2024.

His standout performances in Southeast Asia then caught the attention of OG, who signed him in October 2024 – fullfiling his dream of playing alongside one of his idols, Sebastien “Ceb” Debs. However, the team underperformed in tournaments and eventually opted for a full roster rebuild.

This restructuring led to 23savage and his teammate, Matthew “Ari” Walker, being moved to OG’s inactive roster in January 2025. However, OG’s announcement clarified that 23savage remains part of the organization and could rejoin the active roster if needed in the future.
