OG Form
For the two-time champions of The International, the past year has been an extremely disappointing one on the back of past honours. OG played mediocre at the regional level and missed out on all Major tournaments in 2023. The team played at the ESL Pro Tour Dota 2 2023, but failed to achieve much results there as well. The financial outlet was the 13th-14th place at the Riyadh Masters 2023, which provided the players with $200,000 in prize money. For the first time since 2015, OG did not play at the Dota 2 World Championship. The team missed The International 2023 due to finishing in 5th-6th place in the Western European qualification.
The previous professional event for OG was ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 Western Europe Closed Qualifier. The organisers of ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 invited OG directly into the closed regional qualifier. In the first match, Yuragi and his teammates defeated Team Secret 2-0. The confrontation with Entity ended in a 1-2 defeat. OG fell to the bottom of the grid, where they easily outplayed D2 Hustlers. A rematch against Team Secret, which took place as part of the lower grid semi-finals, ended in a 1-2 defeat for OG.

Team Secret uniforms
Last year Team Secret showed a phenomenal drop in form. In the DPC season, the team managed to drop down to the second division, return to the first division and fall back to the bottom of the league. Needless to say, Secret missed out on all three Major Championships in the season? Things were not much better at tournaments from third-party organisers, although there is something to note here. At DreamLeague Season 20 Team Secret took 11-12th places and earned $20,000 in prize money. A financial success was participation in Riyadh Masters 2023, where 9th-12th place in the standings provided $300,000. Bronze at BetBoom Dacha 2023 brought an additional $25,000 in prize money. At the end of the year, the team qualified for ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023.

On the final day of the group stage, Puppey and crew outlasted Wawitas Sagazes. Their 2-2-1 stats put them up against Gaimin Gladiators in a tiebreaker for the 2-3rd place. According to tournament rules, the tiebreaker is a 1 on 1 on the centre line. MidOne Ledgeil Quinn, which forced Secret to head to the bottom of the net.

OG vs Team Secret Match History

Predicted result of the match OG - Team Secret
OG have already defeated Tundra Esports and Team Tickles, as well as playing longer in the current squad, while Secret have recently made two substitutions in the team. Let's bet on the victory of Team OG.
Team Secret is the 8th team in the world ranking. Unfortunately, they failed to get through the European qualifications for The International 2023, taking only 4th place. Of course, after such a performance Puppey could not leave everything as it was and the team left Armel and Fbz. They were replaced by old MidOne and their former player BOOM, despite his very controversial performance in the previous period in the organisation. This lineup didn't last long and the previously mentioned MidOne, and Yamich together with him went inactive and were replaced by Kordan and Ekki.
OG is the 6th team in the world ranking. After missing The International 2023 the team decides not to change the squad and train with the already assembled one. The team consists of Yuragi, Bzm, Wisper, Ari and Ceb. The roster is pretty strong, no matter how you look at it.
So far OG's preparation impresses me much more than Secret's. I think they will come out of this fight victorious.
I'm a prognosticator, that's what I live for. I devote all my time to it. No other interests.
I've been doing this for a long time and I've had some success in it. Whether to believe me or not is up to everyone. But why not give it a try? Maybe you like this kind of life too!
