Topias "Topson" Taavitsainen (born April 14, 1998) is a Finnish player who is currently playing for Tundra Esports.

Biography[edit]

Topson was born in Haukipudas, Finland. He has seven older siblings and four younger siblings.[1] He began playing Dota when he was 8 years old after being encouraged by his brothers.

His professional career began in 2017 with brief stints at SFTe-sports and 5 Anchors No Captain, and he represented his country at WESG 2017.

His high leaderboard ranking subesquently attracted attention, and in June 2018 he was announced as the new midlaner for OG prior to The International 2018 regional qualifiers. OG qualified for the event and, despite low expectations at the start of the tournament, lifted the aegis after defeating PSG.LGD in the grand final.

On August 25th, 2019, he became the first two time TI-Winner, after winning two consecutive TIs, TI8 and TI9. He achieved this together with his teammates N0tail, Ceb, ana, and JerAx on OG. After placing 7th-8th in The International 2021, he took a break from the competitive scene. He joined T1 as last minute stand-in for The International 2022 qualifiers but didn't manage to qualify. He later form a team named Old G with former teammates Ceb and N0tail but the team didn't manage to qualify to division 1. He would later play for Tundra Esports at The International 2023, replacing Saksa who went inactive due to health reasons.[2][3]

Trivia[edit]

  • He studied to become a chef but he decided to quit to focus on Dota.[4]
