OG Form
The history of the current OG core will logically begin with November last year. Back then, the team updated their roster for ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 Western Europe Closed Qualifier, where they finished in fourth place and failed to qualify for LAN. The beginning of 2024 marked the qualification season for various major tournaments. First, OG qualified for BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024 by winning the Western Europe Closed Qualifier. The team also picked up a victory at DreamLeague Season 22: Western Europe Closed Qualifier. And the silver medal at the ESL One Birmingham 2024: Western Europe Closed Qualifier secured a trip to England for the LAN Championship. BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024 ended with Ceb and his teammates in 9th-12th place, which earned the team $20,000 in prize money. A sixth place finish in the DreamLeague Season 22 standings also added $47,500 to the European organisation's coffers. After that, OG were one step away from participating in DreamLeague Season 23, having taken the third place in qualification. Silver at the PGL Wallachia Season 1: Western Europe Closed Qualifier also prevented OG from going to the LAN tournament in Romania.
OG had previously competed in the Elite League. Team Long Sogpegoval in the first group stage, which was played under the Swiss system. On their way Ceb and Team Ledge only had Entity on two maps in the third round. The 3-1 statistic secured OG's advancement to the next stage of the tournament. In Group A OG could not achieve the desired result. The team played with the result 2-3-2 and took the fifth place in the group, which was not enough to participate in the play-offs. 9-10th place in the standings provided the players with $20,000 in prize money.

Team Spirit uniforms
The International 2021 champions started last season with a second place finish at DPC EEU 2023 Tour 1: Division I and BetBoom Universe: Episode I - Comics Zone, which earned them $28,000 and $25,000 respectively. The team also earned the right to play at Lima Major 2023, the first Major tournament of the year. The 7th-8th place at Lima Major 2023 is hard to call a good result for such a team, but Miposhka and his teammates fulfilled the minimum programme, earning $12,500 and DPC points. Silver in the DPC EEU 2023 Tour 2: Division I allowed Team Spirit to earn $28,000 and ranking points, as well as a trip to Berlin for the Major event. Before travelling to Germany, Spirit finished in 9th-10th place at DreamLeague Season 19, the first tournament of the ESL Pro Tour Dota 2 2023 series, and won $25,000. At ESL One Berlin Major 2023, the team fell short, as a 9th-12th place finish in the standings did not earn them any honours. Team Spirit won the final round of the regional league, winning all of their matches. Thus, Miposhka and his team earned the grand prize of $30,000, DPC points and a trip to Bali Major 2023. In between ranking tournaments, Spirit played at DreamLeague Season 20, where they finished in the top 5 and received $52,500. But in Bali the players had the same bad luck as in Berlin. Once again 9th-12th place and no winnings. The final tournament of the ESL Pro Tour Dota 2 2023 series was the Riyadh Masters 2023, a LAN championship held in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, which had the biggest prize money of the year, namely $15,000,000. The win secured Team Spirit $5,000,000 in prize money. Also, the championship at DreamLeague Season 21 brought the players $300,000.

But the team failed to qualify for DreamLeague Season 23.
Previously, Team Spirit took part in the Elite League. The reigning champions of The International received an invitation to the second group stage. But for fans of the club, their performance was frankly unsatisfactory. Team Spirit lost four matches in Group A, finishing with a 2-1-4 record.

Predicted result of the match OG - Team Spirit
Team Spirit are showing a stable result, losing one map to each opponent. OG were also unable to get a single victory yesterday. Let's bet on a draw in the match.
Team Spirit is the 9th team in the world ranking. I will not describe much, we all know and understand who Spirit are. BB Dacha Dubai was not bad for the guys. Played for the 5th place. DreamLeague Season 22 was a little more successful. They reached the 4th place. Elite League was not bright at all. They finished in 13th place, which is quite sad for this level of team.
OG is the 5th team of the world ranking. After missing The International 2023, the team decided not to change the squad and train with the already assembled one. The team consists of Yuragi, Bzm, Wisper, Ari and Ceb. The roster is strong enough as it is. And this is confirmed by the facts. They managed to qualify for the BB Dacha Dubai in the European region defeating Tundra 3 0 in the finals. Also had a great qualification for DreamLeague Season 22, being the strongest in Europe. But a little bit failed at the qualifications for ESL One Birmingham 2024, taking only the 2nd place, but alas not a slot for the tournament. BB Dacha was sad for the organisation. The guys fell out of the group stage and decided that the problem lurked in Yuragi. They sent him to the bench. At the Elite League played Timado. They finished 10th. The result suited them and here again Timado will help the team.
OG are doing a bit better at the moment. Why not take their head start?
