Ceb and Topson OG

Alexander, aka Nix Levin, is of the opinion that Topias 'Topson' Taavitsainen and OG used drugs at the International 2019, ensuring us that it was not sanctioned at the time.

He made this claim on a Twitch broadcast.

“Topson was such a weak laner – he could be beaten with one hand. His peak was at TI9, but then again, there was only a handful of heroes he could play well. There was this particular playstyle he came up with on Tiny – he just ran around the map. Who knows though, I do believe in pills.

When someone spends the entire year being a never-ending drowing in a losing stream and unable to even land a last hit on a creep, then all of a sudden during TI9, their fingers are being enabled to turn them into a god who clicks perfectly... Well, I believe those guys were on some stimulative drugs, but it just so happened it wasn't prohibited. Why raise your hands after the battle, what's the point?” 

Nix has suspected that Topson was never a good laner, but suddenly started playing at a peak level during TI9. He now wants to assume that this is due to the use of stimulative drugs, which many people suspect the team does. Nevertheless, this has not been substantiated yet so Nix did point out that albeit he is certain that the OG used the pills, it wasn't against the laws hence the team is innocent.

Clement "Puppey" Ivanov once uttered that, for him, OG at TI9 was the best performance in Dota 2 history, and after seeing how swiftly the players clicked, many considered them to be robots.
