The International 2022 champion is firing on all cylinders in forming its all-star roster. After securing one of the best midlaners and two-time TI champion, Topias “Topson” Taavitsainen, Tundra Esports has recruited yet another TI winner, Ivan “MinD_ContRoL” Ivanov, making sure to keep its legacy of a TI champion team.
A new journey for MinD_ContRoL with Tundra Esports
MinD_ContRoL had been a part of the Liquid-Nigma squad led by Kuro “KuroKy” Salehi Takhasomi since 2015. While he had enormous success throughout the years with his former team, such as winningThe International 2017(TI7), it is refreshing to see him finally bear new stripes.
That said, MinD_ContRoL had already been a free agent since September 2023. He joined OG forDreamLeague Season 21, stood-in for Team Tickles duringPinnacle Cup: Malta Vibes #4and played atTI12with Team SMG. Before Nigma Galaxy officially released him on December 20, MinD_ContRoL also participated in theESL One Kuala Lumpur qualifierand thePinnacle: 25 Year Anniversary Showwith the teams komanda X and The dudley boys respectively. In fact, it was at the latter where he first played with current team member, 9Class. Even in his new team, the stars continue to align for MinD_ContRoL.
