OG to Play Online Tournaments with Stand-Ins
OG, the renowned Dota 2 team, will be participating in upcoming online tournaments with two stand-ins. Due to travel restrictions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, OG’s star players Topson and MidOne are unable to join the team. As a result, Ceb and 33 will be filling in for them.
Introducing the Stand-Ins
Ceb, a familiar face to OG, will be one of the stand-ins for the team. Additionally, OG has acquired former Alliance player 33 to complete their roster.

Adding to the Cosmopolitan Trend
OG is not the only team making adjustments for online tournaments. Ninjas in Pyjamas, led by ppd, have recruited Ramzes and MiLAN as stand-ins for their North American players.
Cancelled Offline Debut
Initially, OG’s full roster was set to debut at the ESL One Los Angeles Major. However, the offline event was cancelled, and the team had to adapt to the online format. Topson and MidOne were unable to participate due to ping issues, forcing them to stream instead.
OG’s Upcoming Online Tournaments:
– ESL One LA Online Europe and CIS league (starting April 4)
– WePlay! Pushka League (starting April 23)
