The European organization OG decided to disband their second Dota 2 roster, which played under the tag OG Seed. The organization gave OG Seed a 30-days notice before releasing them to help players find a “new home". OG will stop working with the team on July 1.
OG Seed roster:
- Mohammad "Madara" Dabachach;
- Rasmus Johan "Chessie" Blomdin;
- Andreas Per "Xibbe" Ragnemalm;
- Zakari William Lee "Zfreek" Freedman;
- Petu "Peksu" Vaatainen.
The reason for such a decision was the postponement of The International 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic and the inability of two teams to simultaneously participate in most tournaments:
Because of unforeseen situations (the devastating Covid-19 pandemic), The International 10 was postponed, and the competitive calendar for the rest of the year became unclear. We always knew the two rosters would not be able to compete in TI10 under OG, but as the new calendar started shaping into regional tournaments, we saw that having two rosters competing in the same tournament created a potential conflict of interest. We worked with other teams and Tournament Organizers to try to find a solution, but despite our efforts, we realized that it was still probably a little too soon to try to properly implement multi-team ownership.
