Bozhidar “bzm” Bogdanov (born January 20, 2003) is a Bulgarian professional Dota 2 midlaner currently playing for Tundra Esports. Widely regarded as one of the most mechanically gifted mid players of his generation, bzm rose to prominence at a young age through fearless laning, razor-sharp execution, and an aggressive playmaking mindset.

Early Career

BZM emerged from the European pub and semi-pro scene, quickly earning a reputation for exceptional mechanical skill. His performances in regional teams and stacks caught the attention of top organizations, with his Invoker and Storm Spirit play standing out in high-MMR competition.

Despite his young age, bzm demonstrated maturity in decision-making and confidence in lane matchups, traits that would soon translate to the professional stage.

Breakthrough with OG

In 2022, bzm joined OG as their starting midlaner, marking the true beginning of his tier-1 career. The move paid off immediately.

OG went on to win ESL One Stockholm Major 2022, BZM’s first major international title. His dominance in lane and ability to control tempo through midgame rotations were crucial to OG’s success. Later that year, he added a second Major trophy by winning PGL Arlington Major 2022, firmly establishing himself as one of the best mids in the world.

During his time with OG, bzm was consistently praised for:
