EPTAnother thing is that I've found this OG to be a fun team to watch. I was never that keen on old OG teams style wise even if they were good, but this one has been fun to follow for me. Will be interesting to see how they develop longer term

I doubt they will be able to continue with a dominance however, but what a cinderella story. | ||

Just like they were before TI if you watched their qualifier games It's an amazing meta right now, so many close games so many back and forths between the top teams | ||

This run reminds me of DC at TI6 a lot, I hope they can prove me wrong because they sure were entertaining. | ||

Into TI winning captain and support? With all the Major wins Pretty much the best and the most versatile player in Dota history behind Kuroky ? He's 2nd in all time earnings now too | ||

But anyway incredibly impressive to lead the team to a TI win. They did a really nice job integrating Topson's unique heroes into their drafts for example | ||

I remember watching eu qualifiers seeing that Topson-Ana dynamic looked really natural that i thought they would go to places but i certainly didn't think they'd immediately win TI after formation lmao | ||

 ESL One/Hamburg/2017/EuropeAlso he has been playing dota for a really long time apparently so he is not a guy who only started in dota 2 or anything. But of course OG was his first real break so he has been playing in top tier teams for a really short time | ||

I can understand why people on expect a drop off in performance as i think they won TI on motivation and no pressure at all. On the other hand i think this group of players is the team from TI that has most potential to grow as a team. With Topson making a bigger hero pool and them having time to practice and making new strategies. | ||

But of course OG was his first real break so he has been playing in top tier teams for a really short time I meant since joining the team that won TI like rosterwise. Isn't he like part of OG in a month or weeks ? Also afaik this is their first lan tournament ? Even Suma1l and GH had like half a year before winning TI.

And the one who took responsibility as the captain/drafter is the one who steps aside the most(plays support even playing as carry gives the farm to his other core) | ||

And the one who took responsibility as the captain/drafter is the one who steps aside the most(plays support even playing as carry gives the farm to his other core) Notail, Ceb and Jerax received a wake up call after Fly and S4 left, in one interview, Jerax said that the team should stay together until after TI, well you know what happened a week or two later. As for Ana, he is hand down one of the best player in the circuit and one of the massive reason they kept winning major after Miracle left. Topson biggest addition is the fact that he doesn't give a f**k, and do what he want, if it was any other captain, i'm not sure he will let him go meteor invoker or MK, Notail gave him freedom. As for the biggest reason they won, they weren't under pressure as much as the other teams were,or more precisely they dealt with it better, to do something that was never seen in Dota before is a prof. and of course Ana close to flawless play. Edit: i suck at Quoting people. | ||
