OG unveiled a new roster: Topson returns and a new coach joins
OG unveiled its updated roster for the new season, with Topias Topson Taavitsainen, Valeriy SSS Lazarev and Ivan OneJey Zhivitskiy joining the team, while John Anthony Natsumi- Vargas and Rolen Andrei Gabriel skem Ong retained their places. Igor kaffs Furtado became the team's new coach. The organization announced the changes on its official social media accounts.
For Topson, this marks a return to OG after a four-year break. The Finnish midlaner won The International twice with the club, claiming the titles in 2018 and 2019. After finishing third at The International 2024, he retired from professional Dota 2, but returned to the scene almost two years later with LGD Gaming at The International 2026, where he already worked with kaffs.
Furtado spent the past several years working in South America and achieved his greatest success with HEROIC, leading the team to victories at PGL Wallachia Season 2 and FISSURE Universe: Episode 7. Last season, the Brazilian coached LGD, and after parting ways with the club, he announced that he would continue his career outside the South American region.
SSS joined on loan from PARIVISION. The offlaner joined the club in February 2026 and remained in the starting roster until June, when he was moved to the bench following roster changes. He has not played an official match for the team since then.
Before joining OG, OneJey played for several Eastern European teams. The most notable period of his career was with Virtus.pro, which he represented in 2024. The support later played for L1GA TEAM, Chimera Esports and other teams.
