The esports organization OG has announced a new Dota 2 roster and team captain - Mikhail «Misha» Agatov.
Johan «N0tail» Sundstein:
Quite rarely you find people that are competent in many fields. He is a very quick learner. We saw how he was with us, and how much he learned in a very short time. Misha is a fantastic Dota player, mind and leader.
Sébastien «Ceb» Debs:
He is a very nice person and he has a very good heart. He cares about people around him and he cares so much about the game. This is a winning recipe. He is smart, talented and willing to learn. What else can you ask? I can safely say that without him we would have not qualified to TI10. He came in, helped us clear all the confusion, helped us get much smarter about a lot of things. Misha has all it takes and I believe in him and I will be there for anything he needs to help out.
Insider on Reddit correctly predicted OG's lineup. Interestingly, spAce, hansha and ATF decided to change their nicknames.
OG roster:
- Artem «Yuragi» Golubiev;
- Bozhidar «Biziem» Georgiev Bogdanov;
- Ammar «Ammar The F» Assaf;
- Tommy «Taiga» Le;
- Mikhail «Misha» Agatov.
As stated in the official announcement of the organization, they searched for players according to the following criteria:
1st – Raw skill. They have to be really good at Dota.
2nd – Passion and hunger. The players need to be hungry and passionate about the game.
3rd – They need to become a solid and united team. If there is something that we have all learned from the last TI winning teams, it is that teams don’t need to be built out of superstars. That they will become superstars together. But they need to love competing. They need to become friends, they need to have fun being and playing together.
In point 3, the organization clearly refers to the key factor in winning Dota 2 and draws a parallel between teams like Elephant and Team Spirit. We wrote about this in the articles «Elephant. Something went wrong» and «Team Spirit phenomen. The journey from nobody to the stars».
