OG Form & Performance
OG approach BLAST Slam VI as a team capable of reaching the playoffs. After several unsuccessful seasons and constant roster changes, the organization has found a lineup that has already started to deliver results.
At PGL Wallachia Season 5, OG were remembered only for a win over Nigma Galaxy, but overall it was an average performance, with the team finishing in the top 14. 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.
At PGL Wallachia Season 6, OG were considered underdogs but demonstrated confident play and a good result. In the group stage, the team finished with a 3–1 record, defeating well-known teams such as PV, Tundra Esports, and HEROIC. In the playoffs, the team reached the lower bracket quarterfinals, where they lost to MOUZ and were eliminated from the tournament, finishing in 5th–6th place.
At BLAST Slam V, few people believed in OG, but the team surprised once again. In the Group Stage, OG finished with a 6–5 record, recording wins over HEROIC and Xtreme Gaming. In the Play-In, the team once again defeated HEROIC and qualified for the playoffs, where they lost in the first match and finished in the top 6.
At DreamLeague Season 27, OG repeated their result, finishing in the top 6 and confirming that the team performs better at online tournaments.
BLAST Slam VI became the first tournament for OG in the 2026 season, and although the team is not among the favorites, they are definitely taken into account.
