OG and Team Liquid had it out again in the ESL One Frankfurt semifinals on Saturday, less than a week after they faced one another in The Manila Major Grand Finals. And again, it was OG that came out on top.

Both Team Liquid and OG came into this tournament as favorites, but Liquid's upset loss to Vega on Day 1 delayed their advancement through the group stage. Unsurprisingly, Liquid made it to the playoffs with a 2-0 win over Fnatic, but since they were second place in their group and OG were first in theirs, they were forced to face each other in the semifinal round, rather than heading to another hyped Grand Finals as fans had hoped.

Still, the best-of-three series did not disappoint. OG last-picked Meepo for N0tail in Game 1, but Liquid had something cheesy up their sleeves too — Huskar and Dazzle. Once the Liquid snowball got rolling, OG were finished. The rest of the series was much more even, but KuroKy's Riki seemed to have been figured out in both games, with OG very careful not to be caught out and purchasing Gems and Necrobooks very early on.

Unlike other teams at Frankfurt tournament, OG and Liquid don't have to worry about proving they deserve invites to The International 6, thanks to their Manila Major results. For them, winning ESL One was just for bragging rights and prize money.

If OG wins the entire tournament — which seems pretty likely, given they will either face Na`Vi or Vega Squadron in the finals, neither of which have performed nearly as well recently — then the Euro squad will be able to boast that both times they won a Major, they also won their next LAN immediately after. Their Frankfurt Major championship was followed by winning DreamLeague Season 4.

Since the ESL One Frankfurt bracket stage is single-elimination, OG now wait for their Grand Finals opponent to be decided in the second semifinal between Na`Vi and Vega, set to start shortly. The best-of-five Grand Finals will take place later today.
