OG are a professional Dota 2 eSports team based in Europe. It was founded by former players from the (monkey) Business team on October 31, 2015. Soon after their renaming to OG, they won the inaugural Dota 2 Major championship in Frankfurt in November 2015, winning around US$1 million in prize money. Despite a 7th-place finish at the Shanghai Major in March 2016, OG won the Manila Major in June 2016, becoming the first team to repeat as champions of a Valve Corporation sponsored Dota 2 tournament.
OG entered The International 2016 as one of the favorites, but ended up finishing 9-12th out of 16 teams. In August 2016, founding members MoonMeander, Miracle-, and Cr1t- left the team, with S4, ana, and JerAx replacing them. Despite the adjusted roster, OG won the Boston Major in December 2016, giving them their third Dota 2 Major championship.
