Topson leads Old G to early Dota Pro Circuit win with ‘unconventional’ hero choices

After suffering an unfortunate relegation in the spring season of Dota Pro Circuit, Old G is back to Western Europe’s division two, aiming for promotion with Topias “Topson” Taavitsainen’s unconventional picks and strategies.

In their season opener versus Into the Breach yesterday, Old G drafted Magnus for Topson in the mid-lane during the series’ second round. In the current meta, Magnus hasn’t been a popular pick for mid-laners, but Topson once again demonstrated his trend-setting abilities, tearing apart ITB to secure the first win of the season.
