In an electrifying announcement that has set the Dota 2 community abuzz, Tundra Esports is thrilled to welcome the legendary Ludwig “zai” Wåhlberg into the fold, not as a player this time, but stepping into the prestigious role of General Manager for the 2024 season. Mark your calendars, because on 23rd February, we turned the page to an exciting new chapter in Tundra’s story!
🚀 A New Journey Begins
Following an illustrious career dazzling fans and dominating the pro scene, zai chose to diverge from the battlegrounds of Dota 2, leaving Team Liquid and announcing an indefinite hiatus just four months post The International 2023 (TI12). This return has certainly taken the world by storm, offering an exhilarating surprise to lifelong fans and the Dota 2 community at large.
Tundra Esports is over the moon, shouting from the digital rooftops with a heartfelt, “zaiJ is back 🚨” repeated like a mantra of triumph. And truly, what’s a celebration without the community that makes it all worthwhile? We invite you, our valued fans and cherished esports aficionados, to join in this monumental announcement.
🎥 The Inside Scoop
To kick things off, we’ve shared a 20-minute riveting video where Dota 2 icon Jake “SirActionSlacks” Kanner sits down with zai. Delve into an intimate discussion that spans zai’s illustrious playing career, his visionary leap into team management, and the sparkling future he envisions for Tundra Esports. Together, they peel back the layers of what it means to transition from player to a managerial maestro, sharing zai’s eagerness to tackle this new role head-on.
zai confesses, “To be honest, coming back as a player or a coach, I didn’t really have too much interest in. But coming in with this slightly different job description and responsibility… it’s kind of challenging for me as well.” It’s the dawn of a new era for Tundra Esports, with zai at the helm of the ship, steering us toward uncharted territories with a blend of skill, passion, and strategic brilliance.
🔥 Looking Ahead
The anticipation is building as Tundra Esports gears up for the DreamLeague Season 22 tournament. With a whooping $1,000,000 prize pool and 18,500 EPT points on the line, the stakes couldn’t be higher. The action kicks off with the first group stage running from 25th February to 28th February, followed by a gripping second phase from 1st March to 7th March, all culminating in a grand showdown on 9th and 10th March.
To our dedicated Dota 2 Fans, Esports Enthusiasts, and the vibrant Tundra Community — this is more than just a game.
