Fact of the matter is they have a plethora of strategies, and it doesn't depend on heroes picked, thus patch is totally irrelevant. They are comfortable in playing a farm game, early to mid push, split push, counter push, 4 prot 1, 5 man. They have great team fight communication, and understand itemization and the timings. A big part of their arsenal is how teams fear their Meepo/Huskar 4th/5th picks, which means they often get free 2nd phase bans. It also allows them to draft around this. A new patch may make Meepo/Huskar irrelevant, and their drafting approach may no longer be effective. For example, they may have to secure cores earlier, which gives their opponents time to prepare. So yes they do play a wide variety of strategies unlike Alliance 2013, but the major component of their success so far has been more due to their drafting edge. | ||

They still rely on a pretty small set of heroes, it's not particularly bad and it doesn't mean they will falter when the heroes they play get nerfed but you can't say that patches are irrelevant. Every team got hit by patches and some fell off drastically afterwards. OG have played one patch as a team, they might not be as successful in the next one or they might be even better we don't know. | ||

Patch is irrelevant because they are not dependant on heroes to pick strategies. In the previous patch they played zero LANs and made it through 1 out of 3 qualifiers they played. It's hardly big evidence. Not that I think they will somehow crumble but at this time I don't really hold them as the big favorite to win the next major either. | ||
