Topson Returns to Dota 2 Pub After Long Break

European Dota 2 midlaner legend Topias “Topson” Taavitsainen has sparked discussion among fans with his recent match data.

According to DotaBuff, the two-time the two times The International champion has played Normal matches almost exclusively for the past 9 days, maintaining a win rate above 50%. His frequent hero rotations suggest he’s adapting to the latest meta.

His return to Dota 2 pubs came as a surprise, given the Finnish player was 9 months away from the game after announcing his retirement and joining the military service, with Tundra Esports as his last destination from the last season.

Given the major meta changes in Dota 2, the 27-year-old will definitely need time to adjust. However, given his reputation as a pro who rose through pub play, he has the potential to quickly return to a high competitive level and re-enter the pro scene, if he chooses to.
