The second episode of the Esports Unfold series third season from RedBull tells the story of OG player and two-time The International winner Topias "Topson" Taavitsainen. An interview was also published along with the video, expanding some of the topics that the Finn told about, like how his career in OG has started:

I was streaming back then. I had no hopes for anything for the rest of the season. That is, until a certain OG player came sliding into his DMs with a ticket to the big time. Then I got a DM from Jesse [‘JerAx’ Vainikka] asking, ‘Yo, we’re kind of interested in you. If we decide to go are you down for it?’ So that’s how it began.

But even after winning two TIs in a row, he can feel himself demotivated.

After TI9 I was like, really demotivated. I was, first month, sitting back at my parents’ home and I was really unsure if i wanted to continue or move on, or do other things with my life. But time moved on and I started missing Dota a bit. I was like, ah, I probably shouldn’t quit yet.
