OG announced Topson's departure from OG after The International 2021 to focus on his family, and he has never competed in a Dota 2 tournament since. Unlike his teammates Ceb, Notail, ana, and Jerax who all quit OG after their loss in The International last year, a Topson comeback actually never happened in any competitive capacity since his departure. Ceb returns every now and then to sub in for OG, Notail continued his duties as a coach for the team, while ana and Jerax worked as freelancers for other teams throughout the latter half of this year's season.

Topson returning to competitive play would definitely be groundbreaking. Even though OG lost early in TI 2021, many fans and analysts still consider every member of the OG team as some of the best players of Dota 2 in the world today. However, if he is due for a return ahead of TI 2022 for OG, then that means current midlaner Bozhidar “bzm” Bogdanov teamless, leaving the young prospect out in the cold for the rest of the season. So, OG's current plans are actually intriguing, leaving fans guessing about what's in store for both OG and Topson.
