Two-time The International champion and OG founder, Johan "N0tail" Sundstein, has returned to competitive play after a three-year hiatus.
Notail is replacing Rodrigo "Lelis" Santos, who joined the team in July this year. “My time with OG has ended. I would like to thank them for giving me a chance and empowering me through the process,” posted Lelis on X. ”Unfortunately, things did not turn out the way we wanted, wishing them the best.”
Lelis began playing under the OG banner right after The International 2025 qualifiers. He got to compete with the team through multiple tier two events, but the start of the new season came with failure in five different qualifier campaigns: DreamLeague Season 27, BLAST Slam IV & V, Fissure Playground 2, and PGL Walachia Season 6.
Unfortunately, this is yet another season where OG struggles right from the start, and Lelis’ departure aligns with their numerous roster adjustments.
Notail comes out of retirement
OG’s last TI appearance was registered in 2022. Their roster back then featured two promising stars in Ammar "ATF" Al-Assaf and Bozhidar "bzm" Bogdanov. But after their departure, OG haven’t been able to find their footing. Notail came out of retirement to help OG recover its former glory in May this year, when he took the coaching position.
Since then, he stood in and played with a team a few times, filling in either for Tamir "daze" Tokpanov or Lelis. Most recently, Notail stood in for the latter during the PGL Wallachia Season 6 qualifiers. However, with Lelis ending his time with OG, Notail made his official return to competitive play at DreamLeague Division 2. The tournament features a total of 16 Tier 2 teams from across all major regions, all competing for a chance to qualify for DreamLeague Season 27.
