reminder that alliance was the heavy favorite and won and ig was one of the favorites and won and newbee were one of the favorites and won

IG definitely was not one of the favourites and Newbee was slated to possibly do well but not win.

There's a difference between "favourites" and "do well".

This year, I'd put OG, Liquid, Wings and Newbee as the favourites but I'd expect teams like MVP and LGD (before their vsia problem) to do well.

Liquid only plays 2 games on day 1. Navi is probably a better pick since they play EG, Esc and TNC.

We're all caught up to Warcraft 3 and, hopefully, that means Dota 2 can grow beyond being Warcraft 3 HD and try some new things not possible in WC3 going forward.

Dota 2 has already gone past WC3 Dota other than Pit Lord.

Anyone know how's Overwatch doing in other less developed markets? Previously, it was cited that Dota 2 was being held back by the lack of decent computers able to run the game where as LoL and WC3 Dota have much less demanding system requirements.

I wonder how effective it would be for Underlord's aura to just keep pushing your wave and forcing the opposing carry to last hit under their tower and with reduced damage.

TI: It’s Obviously Got to happen

It’s been an amazing year for OG.

After a little Monkey Business, we came together, trusted in each other and fought hard.

The Frankfurt Major win wouldn’t have happened without the incredible support we got from the community, our insanely passionate fans and the all-or-nothing attitude from every single player on the team.

With the Shanghai loss, we were disheartened. We re-grouped and promised to work harder, train harder and prove it at every event we attended.

Vials of Blood, sweat and tears later, we were ready for Manila. Winning our second Major event proved that our decision to stick together and believe in each other through the lows was the right thing to do.

Days later, we were on stage with the ESL One Trophy in Frankfurt and shortly after, ended second to Wings at The Summit.

Today we recollect ourselves in the aftermath of what we all had come together to fight for: The International. For us, OG is more than just MMR and prize-money. It’s getting to take the game we love to new heights and share it with family.

We let ourselves down but we’re not giving up.

Change is never easy but it’s here. We will fight our way back to the number 1 spot but today we announce the departure of three of OG’s year-long members: MoonMeander, Miracle- and Cr1t-.

We’ve made the difficult decision that Moon will no longer be an active player on the OG Roster but wish him nothing but success wherever he decides to go.

We’ve made the difficult decision that Moon will no longer be an active player on the OG roster but wish him nothing but success wherever he decides to go. Cr1t- and Miracle- have chosen to find their new homes elsewhere in the DOTA2 arena.

The former OGs had the following to say:

“I’d like to thank OG for everything it has done for me. I wish them good luck in their future endeavours” ― Moon

“I would like to thank OG for everything. I had a really great time and thanks to Red Bull for the support they've been amazing. We had a really good times and great memories together. I would like to thank Johan and Tal, they both taught me alot. I still love everyone on OG, they are like a family to me and I wish them the very best.” — Miracle-

“I am very appreciative for the past season that I shared with the 4 players on OG. We accomplished something few would have expected and it was the dream start to my career. I will forever cherish this last year and it’s with mixed feelings that I move on and continue to develop my career that all begun with OG. I hope that the fans that followed us and cheered for us will keep following me on my new endeavours. Shoutout to all my former teammates as well as Evany our manager and coach Seb.” ― Cr1t-

In the early days of OG, no one believed that the five guys in green would be able to claim a stake as one of the most achieved DOTA2 teams in the world. Two Major trophies later and now with changes to our group, we don’t intend to stop.

To Moon, Miracle- and Cr1t-: we will miss you. A family might have its ups and downs but it doesn’t just go away. We built a legacy together and all you will all be a part of that.Thank you.

We’ll soon announce the exciting new faces to OG… and some other surprises. We need our incredibly supportive fans (you!) to know that we aren’t going anywhere. The journey to fill the OG trophy cabinet starts again. There has always been just one dream.
