Topson stunned with a surprise image change at The International 2024. Photo

Topias “Topson” Taavitsainen has shaved off his mustache ahead of his team's first match in The International 2024 playoffs against Team Falcons.

Live streaming of the matches of the first day of the TI13 playoffs is available on Twitch.

It is worth noting that since the first day of the tournament, the cyber athlete has worn a rather distinguished mustache with a beard. At the same time, the Tundra Esports midlaner did not comment on the unexpected change of image.

Perhaps the act of the cyber athlete is a reference to the tradition of Ilya “Raddan” Mulyarchuk, who twice won The International after shaving his head.

Recall that earlier streamer Alexander “Nix” Levin commented on the game Tundra Esports after the replacement of Edgar “9Class” Naltakyan.
