OG Sweeps Secret at ESL One Los Angeles Online Dota 2 Event
In a thrilling match at the ESL One Los Angeles Online Dota 2 event, OG swept Secret 2-0 in two completely contrasting matches. The first game was a complete domination by OG, while the second game witnessed an extraordinary turnaround that could be the plot of a blockbuster movie with only minimal edits to the script.
For the first game, Secret opted for the strong Keeper of the Light and Bristleback combination to gain early control and snowball their advantage. However, OG was well-prepared in the draft. They countered Secret’s strategy by picking a position four Pugna who skillfully used Nether Ward to prevent Quill Spray spam. They also picked Necrophos to easily take down Secret’s tanky cores.
Unfortunately for Secret, OG’s SumaiL started strong with Void Spirit, putting all three of OG’s cores ahead in the laning phase. Secret struggled to get their game plan going and eventually conceded defeat in just 20 minutes.
A Game of Twists and Turns
The second game was the highlight of the tournament so far. It started off as a standard match with Secret appearing to outplay OG, just as OG had done in the previous game.
Secret executed slow and methodical pushes to suffocate OG—an effective strategy against any ordinary team. But OG proved once again that they are anything but ordinary.
OG began with small victories, picking off one of Secret’s cores by committing all five heroes. They also managed to sneak in two Roshans with the help of their Chen army. They constantly harassed Secret, reminding them that OG might be down, but they were not out of the game.
In a desperate move, SumaiL decided to buy the Divine Rapier as his third item, a bold move that paid off when OG received a Paladin Sword drop. The lifesteal and sustain potential of the sword complemented OG’s healing-focused lineup.
OG had achieved their goal of dragging the game long enough for SumaiL to buy a potentially game-winning item. However, executing the strategy was not an easy task.
The Rise of the Gyrocopter
Secret realized they had to put an end to OG’s interference. They managed to secure Roshan for themselves and engaged with a fully equipped MATUMBAMAN Phantom Lancer.
Secret threw everything they had at SumaiL, but OG’s supporting cast played heroically to protect their carry. In the end, it was SumaiL’s Gyrocopter who stood tall, while the entire Secret roster fell.
But Secret did not give up. They tried to take down the Gyrocopter, but SumaiL’s health bar never stayed low for long thanks to the continuous healing from his teammates.
The entire match showcased OG’s relentless spirit and determination. Despite playing with stand-ins and SumaiL dealing with high ping from North America, OG displayed iron-tight gameplay and a never-say-die attitude.
As the two-time The International champions, OG moves on to face Virtus Pro in the next round of the upper bracket. Secret, on the other hand, drops down to the lower bracket and will face off against Vikin.gg.
