Dota 2 TI winner N0tail lost his gaming passion, but it's back
Dota 2 TI winner N0tail is the MOBA's most decorated pro player, winning two Internationals back-to-back, and walking away victorious from Major after Major. Etched into history as a true Dota titan and even forming his own org, the Dane declared his departure from pro play in 2021, remaining on the bench for the foreseeable future.
The Loadout sat down with N0tail to discuss his new Red Bull Ultimate Gaming Room, and while the excitement around a new dedicated gaming space was palpable, the OG icon reveals that his passion for all things virtual has waned over the last year or so - especially his urge to return to pro play.
"You could say that other things are just way more exciting," he states. "On one hand, it's not the same to go and sit down and just play games, because I guess there are more things and more responsibilities, but there's also an emotional aspect to it. It doesn't feel the same to sit down and play certain types of games.
