This was followed by a series of appearances at Tier-3 tournaments, where OG performed well, becoming champions of CCT Season 2 Series 4. OG reached the grand final through the lower bracket and defeated TNL, becoming tournament champions.
After that, the team once again played a large number of qualifiers, but without significant success. Following roster changes, OG decided to sign a new lineup — former players of the Aureus team, who had qualified for several Tier-1 tournaments, which allowed the team to secure slots at these events.
