Needless to say, this is why he has not posted anything since January 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After <strong>being inactive for more than 7 months<\/strong>, Topson came back with a bang. He decided to \u201crevive\u201d his timeline by posting a <strong>video of him back at his desk<\/strong>. With that said, we had to wait until the <strong>late hours of July 21<\/strong> for the official announcement that he is back in the game and will livestream for his fans.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, we do not know if T<strong>opson will decide to return to competitive Dota 2<\/strong> yet. In case you don\u2019t remember, Tundra Esports announced his retirement from professional play in September of 2024, and he <strong>hasn\u2019t made any statements<\/strong> since then. With that said, fans believe that we may see him in action sooner than we think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering that The International is approaching and the<a href=\"https:\/\/blix.gg\/news\/dota-2\/team-spirit-is-the-dota-2-esports-world-cup-2025-trophy-parivision-finishes-3rd\/\"> Esports World Cup 2025 ended<\/a> just a few days ago, we will <strong>probably have to wait<\/strong> until we learn something about Topson\u2019s professional career. There will definitely be many roster changes once TI is over, and we expect Topson to find a new home in the professional Dota 2 scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will make sure to <strong>inform you as soon as there\u2019s something new<\/strong> around one of Dota 2\u2019s best players.
