About Team OG
OG was founded as (monkey) Business by Johan “n0tail” Sundstein in August 2015. The team wrote its name into the Dota 2 record books during the Frankfurt Major in 2015, winning the first ever Valve sponsored Major. After winning the 2017 Kiev Major, OG became the first team in Dota 2 to win four Major Championships. Last summer, OG won The International 2018 after a run that many would class as the most incredible Cinderella Story in history of Esports, establishing OG as the World Champions.
