Saksa’s departure and Tundra Esports’ power move
Tundra Esports has made a significant move in the Dota 2 scene by adding two-time TI champion Topson to their lineup after Saksa stepped back due to health concerns. According to rival captain Alexey “Solo” Berezin, this revamped Tundra squad is already making waves as The International 12 approaches.
Solo’s experience scrimming against Tundra
In a recent interview with Cybersport, Solo shared his experience scrimming against Tundra and described it as a tough challenge. He mentioned that Topson is currently performing at an untouchable level and not taking it easy on others.
Nine’s role switch and Saksa’s mentoring
Solo also praised Nine for excelling in Saksa’s former role after switching from the midlane to position four to accommodate Topson. He speculated that Saksa might be coaching and mentoring Nine to some extent.
Solo firmly believes that Tundra is dominating scrims and has gained an edge with their recent roster changes.
Topson’s impact on Tundra
Topson’s addition has significantly shifted Tundra’s dynamics. His aggressive playstyle and innovative approach have brought a fresh perspective and energy to the team.
The potential of Tundra with Topson
Topson’s experience as a two-time TI champion with OG adds valuable expertise to the team. His presence seems to be elevating Tundra’s gameplay, making them a potential favorite heading into The International 12.
As the pinnacle tournament draws closer, all eyes will be on Tundra and Topson to see if they can turn their scrim successes into tournament victories and become the second team to win back-to-back, a feat Topson has already achieved. If they succeed, it’ll be his third Aegis.
The International begins in October, but you can catch Tundra in action before that at DreamLeague Season 21, starting on September 18.
