A veteran of the professional Dota 2 scene makes a surprise return to the game in early 2024. However, this return will be somewhat unusual - Ludwig " zai " Wahlberg chooses a leadership position for himself at Tundra Esports , becoming its general manager.

Tundra Esports announced the event by posting a 20-minute long video featuring zai and popular Dota 2 host and commentator Jake "SirActionSlacks" Kanner on their social media.

In case anyone missed it, nearly four months ago, zai officially left Team Liquid after being eliminated from The International 2023 (TI12) and almost immediately announced his hiatus from professional Dota 2.

In short, in a conversation with SirActionSlacks, Zai reveals the details of his new career move, returning to the professional scene, but as a manager and Tundra Esports made him a tempting offer to try himself in a new role. Also in the interview, Zai talks about his passion for Dota 2 and feels new challenges in the role of a manager, noting that he did not consider returning as a player or coach in the near future, but the new duties and responsibilities create a certain interest for him .With these changes, the Swedish specialist noted that from now on he will not be in the spotlight as before, and that he will be working a lot behind the scenes, being in the shadows, and it seems that he is satisfied with that.

Ludwig Wahlberg will make his managerial debut with Tundra Esports during DreamLeague Season 22 , an online tournament with a huge prize pool of $1,000,000, which will be held from February 25 to March 10, 2024.
