OG Esports announces new Dota 2 roster for the new season
OG Esports has refreshed its roster ahead of the 2025/26 Dota 2 season. Two-time The International winner Johan โN0tailโ Sundstein will continue his role as the teamโs head coach, but now, he has a new roster to lead.
The OG roster only had two players before the news, as Tamir โdazeโ Tokpanov and Mihajlo โMikSa`โ Jovanovic joined earlier in 2025. They played alongside Indji โShadโ Lub, who was initially on loan from Natus Vincere. The other two players are Brazilian support player Rodrigo โLelisโ Santos, and Igor โStojkovโ Stojkov.
OGโs ambitious roster
Considering Shad, MikSa`, and daze are already familiar with each other after their time together earlier in 2025, they make up the strong foundation for this team. Lelis provides the stability this team needs from the hard support player. The Brazilian is an experienced player who has played in The International before.
Stojkov is the most unknown name of the bunch, as he only started playing Dota 2 esports in 2022. Since then, he has risen in the ranks and proven himself enough to catch N0tailโs attention. The mid-laner from North Macedonia is on a trial basis in the meantime, but if he can prove himself to be a star player, he will be signed on a permanent deal.
N0tail also has a new assistant coach named Marc โHoviteYโ Abrusnikow, who has been a top presence in the European Dota 2 scene for a long while. Now, he will assist N0tail in devising tactics for this team.
The new era for OG Dota
Apart from a new roster, OG also strengthened the organisation as N0tail and fellow OG co-founder Sรฉbastien โCebโ Debs struck a deal with fan token firm Chiliz. As the owner of Socios.com, Chiliz took a controlling 51% stake in OG, which boosts the teamโs funding for their competitive future.
OG already has an illustrious history, and this new roster has potential. With Chilizโs support, the organisation could maintain their support for the roster and N0tailโs coaching ahead of a massive 2025/26 Dota 2 esports season.
