N0tail received a prestigious award in esports

Johan “N0tail” Sundstein, a legend of the Dota 2 pro-scene, despite having ended his career, recieved a prestigious award at the Esport Awards 2025 for his achievements in esports.

A fragment of the award ceremony was posted on Reddit.

The organizers noted that N0tail became an incredibly important figure in the history of esports development. As a player, he inspired whole generations of esports athletes and left a significant mark on the esports sphere.

Even though he has essentially retired as a pro player, the organizers highlighted the contribution the two-time world champion made to the growth of the scene, and in a short presentation reminded everyone about his most significant victories on the Dota 2 pro-scene.

It’s worth remembring that earlier Dota 2 couldn’t become the game of the year — another MOBA won instead.
