OG Esports Locks In Dota 2 Roster Until 2024, Announces Major Lineup Changes
  • OG esports has confirmed that their Dota 2 roster will remain unchanged until at least the end of 2024, as announced on October 19.

  • This announcement aims to provide closure following a chaotic roster shuffle for the organization after The International.

  • The team has brought in Nuengnara '23savage' Teeramahanon and Leon 'Nine' Kirilin, who have now become full members after initially joining as stand-ins.

  • Yap 'xNova' Jian Wei has joined as a five-position support on a trial basis, while Maurice 'KheZu' Gutmann will take on the role of coach.

  • Long-time support and team captain Sébastien 'Ceb' Debs is stepping down from the roster for the time being.

  • Indji 'Shad' Lub will replace 23savage for the upcoming RES Regional Champions event while he sorts out his European visa.

  • KheZu, who has transitioned from being an offlane player to an analyst and commentator, is returning to a coaching role after a hiatus.

  • xNova and KheZu will begin their trial period during the RES Regional Champions tournament in Belgrade, Serbia, from October 22 to 25.

  • OG is one of four teams directly invited to the $200,000 RES Regional Champions tournament.

  • The organization expressed gratitude to fans for their loyalty as they finalize their lineup following a tumultuous post-TI roster shuffle.

  • xNova, a prominent Dota 2 support from the SEA region, previously competed for top Chinese teams, including the one that was denied victory by OG at The International 2018.

  • This marks xNova's first experience playing for a European team, replacing Ceb as the hard support for the remainder of 2024.
