OG announce entry into CS:GO, reveal new lineup

European Dota 2 superpower OG has finally announced their CS:GO roster, months after speculation and leaks had revealed their interest in putting a team together.

The team is widely considered to be the best team of all-time in Dota 2, after winning TI8 despite being predicted to finish in last place after having to rebuild their roster with just two months before the event. They would then go on to become the first team to ever win two TI’s, winning back to back and taking TI9 in an extremely convincing fashion.

Now the organization is looking to become world champion’s in Counter-Strike, picking up a team of players who have nearly all seen success already in the pro scene, with multiple major titles and grand final appearances among them.

You’ve all been waiting for this!
After 4 Majors and 2 TI on Dota 2 it’s now time to tame another colossus.

The team will be led by Aleksi ‘Aleksib’ Virolainen, the former ENCE shot-caller who helped to put Finland on the map by leading his former squad to a major final appearance at IEM Katowice 2019, losing to Astralis in the grand finals before being controversially kicked from the team.
