Korb3n commented on Topson’s statement about leaving the Dota 2 pro scene

Dmitry "Korb3n" Belov, manager of Team Spirit, said that Topias "Topson" Taavitsainen's words about the final end of his career as a pro player deserve respect, because it is extremely difficult for champions to give up what they dedicated their lives to.

He said this during a stream on Twitch.

"He said that he would not go back anywhere, that was it - the boy grew up. In fact, it is respectable, because it seems to me that players like Topson, in general, great players, find it difficult to refuse the recognition that is given to them. First of all, this is what you dedicated the first part of your life to. At least, such a conscious choice no longer exists. By the way, Topson was still playing in 2017, already in a team, I mean, not just Dota"

Korb3n emphasized that Topson is a great player, so it is especially difficult for him to refuse the honors and continue his career. The manager also reminded that the two-time winner of The International has been playing on the pro scene since 2017, devoting a lot of time to the game.

Recall that Team Spirit was previously shocked by news about the prize pool of The International 2025.
