OG triumphed in the European Dota Pit League Season 5 qualifiers

OG triumphed in the European Dota Pit League Season 5 qualifiers, besting Elements Pro Gaming 3:2. There was little doubt that the prestigious three time Valve championship team would find victory at the end of their road. The Boston Major Champions clinched the allocated spot and will head to Croatia for the LAN event. The team will compete for the $125,000 base prize pool against seven other top teams from around the world in January.

After a successful season post TI6, culminating with the Boston Major championship title – another historic moment credited to the team – OG triumphed in the European Dota Pit League Season 5 qualifiers.
