OG Esports Locks In Dota 2 Roster Until 2024, Announces Major Lineup Changes
October 21, 2024OG 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.
