Miracle to Nigma Galaxy and now Topson is joining, or returning to Tundra Esports!
After briefly signing the ex-TSM, Tundra Esports is back to team-building for next season, and their newest addition to the list is one of the hypest names out there: Topias "Topson" Taavitsainen. Topson's addition to Tundra was announced on Jan. 7, and he'll of course be playing in the Mid Lane role. But how's the rest of the Tundra team looking so far?
Tundra Dota 2 roster for 2024
In December 2023, Tundra Esports, who had parted ways with most of their TI-winning roster in November, signed the roster of Team Undying. Many observers thought the ex-TSM sign was going to be a long-term relationship. However, the announcement didn't explicitly say that. Instead say this was the roster they were fielding for ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023, not necessarily for the whole season. When it was time to say farewell after a 7th-8th placement in this tournament, they excluded one player from the drop: Hard Support and Indonesian star, Matthew "Whitemon" Filemon.
The Support duo announcement followed up quickly. 20-year-old Edgar "9Class" Naltakian signing shocked the whole Tundra Esports fan base. His short career started when he was 17 and his most notable team has been "Team Sexy," A squad that would have played Div I DPC after finishing second on DPC EEU 2023 Tour 3: Division II, had the DPC continued. However, 9Class is still going to be playing for a TI-winning team, with TI-winner Topson, so 2024 is not bad news at all for him!
