Topson’s peers have quickly reacted to the news. CS:GO legend s1mple actually tweeted out his congratulatory message before Topson himself announced the news to his followers, while 23savage and Sheever have offered their best wishes.

The OG midlaner had previously taken an enforced lengthy break as the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic forced esports to move towards online tournaments. Stuck in Malaysia for the first few months, Topson eventually returned to the main roster in May, most recently placing second at the OMEGA League two weeks ago.
