OG announce second roster named OG.Seed
Back-to-back TI champions OG has taken an extended break following the team’s historic win at TI9. After skipping the first major of the season, OG will now take the step of signing five new players to play in OG.Seed, a new team to be coached by the main squad.
The roster consists of players who have played at a high level in the past but have never reached the top of the game, always lingering around the tier 2 scene. This is a huge step forward for the tier 2 scene, with Valve not offering a lot in terms of support, it looks as if OG have taken matters into their own hands.
It’s been an incredible couple of years for them at OG.
It’s now time to unveil what’s coming next for them!

Greek/UK based carry player Omar “Madara” Dabachach is the first name in the team, formerly of Ad Finem and Vega Squadron fame. He previously faced OG in the grand final of the Boston Major in 2016 and now joins their ranks as a member of the Seed roster.
Rasmus “Chessie” Blomdin joins after leaving GODSENT, the Swedish organization that had bought out his previous team, The Final Tribe in September this year. The mid-laner has spent time playing in North America with Complexity with his last major appearance being at the Manila Major in 2016.
Andreas “Xibbe” Ragnemalm also joins from GODSENT, the first professional team for the 25-year-old offlaner. He will be hoping to emulate the success of the main OG squad offlaner Ceb.
