Two-time The International (TI) winner and one of the best Dota 2 players ever, Johan "N0tail" Sundstein, has shared excerpts from his autobiography. The athlete tweeted the publishing date of his autobiography, "Character Beats Talent," which chronicles his journey from boyhood to dream fulfillment. The book will be available on Thursday, 18th  April 2024. Anyone interested in reading the book in Danish may presently place a preorder for 279.95 DKK (about $40 USD). According to N0tail, the book's English translation is scheduled for release soon.

On the website of the well-known Danish book chain Bog & Idé, interested readers can place a preorder for the book. The book was co-written by N0tail and Jacob Mignon, according to the website.

N0tail's esports adventure started in retro cafes in Frederiksberg, Denmark, and progressed to a point where supporters yelled for him throughout major competitions, according to a thorough account of the tale. His notion that character is just as vital to success as talent was formed during this voyage of rivalries, friendships, retaliation, and anger at the departure of close ones. 

N0tail is the esports player with the most tournament profits at the moment, having had an impressive career. As a founding member of OG, which he started in 2015 from (monkey) business, he has won two consecutive TI competitions.

When he first started playing Dota 2 competitively in 2012, he was a competitive HoN (Heroes of Newerth) player. The player has represented top teams including Fnatic, Team Secret, and Cloud9 in addition to OG. 

N0tail has been a member of OG's inactive roster since 2021. During the Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) 2023, he had a brief but unsuccessful relationship with other former players. The gamer has stated that they are not playing competitive Dota 2 because they are unmotivated.

He, however, continues to be concerned about OG's success in several competitions, not just Dota 2, but also other esports games, as seen by his tweets.
