Their teamwork and experience helped OG with the final ESL One Malaysia match and ultimately allowed them to walk home with the grand prize of $175,000 USD. Even the unexpected patch before the second day of competition could not derail the team as they put their theory crafting into practice.

Following the win, OG’s Yuragi, bzm, ATF, Chu, and Taiga were relaxed and greatly satisfied with the results. “It was definitely a great LAN experience for us with the hype SEA crowd.

It was a test of our agility to adapt in a competitive environment,” said OG.
