OG has brought on board Russian player iLTW for the carry position, on at least a trial basis through the Bucharest Minor.
Just yesterday, OG announced that Pers "Pajkatt" Olsson was parting ways with the TI8 championship team.
The original announcement indicated that OG would be looking for a suitable replacement via trials, but with their scheduled appearance at Bucharest Minor in less than a week, the trial player should be part of the lineup for at least the time being.
Coming in on the short notice to fill the carry position is Russian player Igor "iLTW" Filatov. iLTW had previously stood in for OG for some of the matches in The Bucharest Minor when Pajkatt was unavailable due to illness. iLTW most recently played for Espada and has a history of competing with various CIS teams since 2015.
The Bucharest Minor kicks off next week, January 9th in Bucharest Romania with teams scrambling to claim the lion's share of the $300,000 prize pool and the highly coveted ticket to The Chongqing Major.
Fans can catch an early glimpse of the team in action as they will be playing today at 17:00 CET for the WePlay Winter Madness event against Vega Squadron.
Current OG roster:
Igor 'iLTW' Filatov (on trial)
Topias 'Topson' Taavitsainen
Sebastien 'Ceb' Debs
Jesse 'Jerax' Vainikka
Johan 'n0tail' Sundstein
