OG wins ESL ONE Frankfurt

After the $3.000.000 win at the Manila Major less than a week ago, Team OG does it again winning the ESL ONE Frankfurt in the grand finals against Na’Vi 3-0, confirming themselves as the best team in the world at the moment. The team, formed in October 2015, has maintained the original lineup since then, which is quite unusual in the ever changing Dota2 professional landscape. The five players, Johan “N0tail” Sundstein, Amer “Miracle” Barqawi, David “MoonMeander” Tan, Andreas “Cr1t” Nielsen and Tal “Fly” Aizik have now officially secured a direct invite for The International and can be undoubtedly considered one of the favourite teams to win the most important tournament of the year.

When asked about the secret to their success, Tal “Fly” Aizik, OG captain, said: “We work hard and prepare seriously. I believe that if you work hard enough, everything is possible”.

Na’Vi had a great run at the tournament, showing that they really are back at the top of the pro scene. Their first match against Vega Squadron is an absolute must see, the most entertaining match of the tournament for sure, with a great performance from Dendi, the Ukranian wonder boy that has been with Na’Vi since 2011. Third/fourth place go to Team Liquid and Vega Squadron, who both showed a solid and consistent gameplay.

In a last minute update, Valve tweeted the direct invites for The International 2016: OG, Team Liquid, Newbee and LGD Gaming from China, MVP Phoenix from the South-East Asia region and Na’Vi from Europe.
