OG Form
It would be logical to start the history of the current OG core from November last year. Then the team updated the roster to participate in ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 Western Europe Closed Qualifier, where they took the fourth place and failed to qualify for the LAN. The beginning of 2024 marked the qualification season for various major tournaments. First, OG qualified for BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024 by winning the Western Europe Closed Qualifier. The team also picked up a victory at DreamLeague Season 22: Western Europe Closed Qualifier. And the silver medal at the ESL One Birmingham 2024: Western Europe Closed Qualifier secured a trip to England for the LAN Championship. BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024 ended with Ceb and his teammates in 9th-12th place, which earned the team $20,000 in prize money. A sixth place finish in the DreamLeague Season 22 standings also added $47,500 to the European organisation's coffers. After that, OG were one step away from participating in DreamLeague Season 23, having taken the third place in qualification. Silver at PGL Wallachia Season 1: Western Europe Closed Qualifier also prevented OG from going to the LAN tournament in Romania. A 9th-10th place finish at the Elite League provided the players with $20,000 in prize money. OG also participated in ESL One Birmingham 2024. Fourth place in the standings added $85,000 to the team's coffers. The European club also won silver at FISSURE Universe: Episode 2, earning an additional $20,000 in prize money.
OG's previous professional tournament was The International 2024: Western Europe Closed Qualifier. The team's first opponent was Nigma Galaxy. The victory in the full bo3 series took the players to the semi-finals. Due to family circumstances Ceb had to miss the match against Entity, and he was replaced by Immersion. Thus, the Ledge team defeated Entity with the result 1:2 and lost the right to make a mistake. In the losers' bracket OG sensationally lost to NAVI Junior on two maps and missed the opportunity to qualify for the Dota 2 World Championship.
Statistics of the latest OG results:
