Topson's Gyro is just a bait that gave their opponents false hope. Then the Surprise Motherfuckers Diffusal came out.

OG are the greatest Dota team to ever play the game. Of that, there can be no debate any longer.



Still needs to perform outside TI from my perspective. But the past year was without Ana though. Hope they don't just afk till TI.

The most impressive thing about their run is their play style. I'm impressed and respect their drafts/strategy.

Thats not really possible. He most likely paid 60% of the winnings, because he couldn't predict the amount of income he is going to earn that year.

You still have to tax at your home country, can't just avoid taxes.
