OG is a professional Dota 2 eSports team based in Europe. Formed in 2015, they are best known for winning four Dota 2 Major championships, as well as being a finalist at The International 2018 tournament.

History

It was founded as (monkey)Business by players Fly and N0tail, who were former players from Team Secret, in August 2015. Soon after a dominating run through the European qualifiers for the Frankfurt Major, they adopted the moniker OG. They went on to win the inaugural Dota 2 Major Championship in Frankfurt in November 2015, earning US$one million in prize money.[1] Despite placing in the bottom half of the next Major in Shanghai in March 2016, the team would rebound and take first place at the Manila Major in June 2016, becoming the first team to repeat as champions of a Valve Corporation sponsored Dota 2 tournament.[2]

OG entered The International 2016 as one of the favorites after earning a direct invite, but ended up finishing 9-12th out of 16 teams. In August 2016, founding members MoonMeander, Miracle-, and Cr1t- left the team, with s4, ana, and JerAx replacing them.[3][4] Despite the new roster, OG won the Boston Major in December 2016, giving them their third Dota 2 Major championship.[5] For the first premier tournament following Boston, OG advanced to the grand finals of the Dota 2 Asia Championships in Shanghai, where they were swept in a best-of-five series against Invictus Gaming.[6] Following that, OG won the Kiev Major in a best of five series against Virtus.pro.[7] At the Kiev event, the team made an appearance on Valve's True Sight documentary series.[8] In May 2018, Fly and s4 left the team to join Evil Geniuses, with ana, Topias "Topson" Taavitsainen, and team coach 7ckngMad replacing them.[9][10] The same month, the organization signed James "Swedish Delight" Liu to represent the Super Smash Bros. scene.[11][12]
