Who is miCKe?

miCKe kicked off his esports career with another MOBA game, Heroes of Newerth. He gradually switched to Dota 2 in 2016. miCKe had a long association with Aydin ‘iNSaNiA’ Sarkohi while the two played together in HoN and then continued his career in Dota 2.

miCKe’s biggest esports achievement is winning the HoN World Tour Finals 2017 with Fnatic. After that tournament, miCKe and many other professional HoN players jumped to Dota 2. This decision paid off for him, with the notable achievement of qualifying for The International 2019 and winning ESL One Germany 2020. .

miCKe and former HoN players have enjoyed success on Dota 2, with a core of Fnatic’s HoN roster joining Alliance in 2017. This is a young squad under coach Jonathan ‘Loda’ Berg. , who won TI3. Alliance then had another former HoN professional in attendance, Tommy ‘Taiga’ Le and finished with two Dota 2: Max ‘qojqva’ Bröcker and Samuel ‘Boxi’ Svahn. With Dota 2, teams rarely settle into long-term lineups, but these five names have been together for more than four years.

More surprisingly, this solidarity took place despite their unimpressive results. Alliance qualified for many Majors, but never surpassed 5th. This roster was later absorbed by Liquid in 2019. Although miCKe and Team Liquid qualified for both Majors in Dota Pro Circuit 2021, the team was soon eliminated. and ultimately failed in the journey to The International 2021.

Is miCKe suitable for OG?

OG was considered the underdog for the TI10 championship. However, in the previous two TIs, OG was in a similar situation.

miCKe clearly has talent, but he entered OG in a rather humorous mood. Ceb is an offlaner, while miCKe has mostly played as a carry for most of his career and sometimes at Mid. Therefore, it is not clear whether miCKe will play in the offlane position at OG or Syed ‘SumaiL’ Hassan will have to switch to the offlane for miCKe to play his position.

This obviously makes their chances of winning TI10 even harder to come true, but OG was previously known for its TI8 and TI9 fairy tales.

OG’s first TI squad was created just before the TI8 qualifiers and they used pubstar Topias Miikka “Topson” Taavitsainen, a strange name with very little LAN experience. Going to TI9, the team also didn’t have many opportunities to play officially with other teams and had to play in a slightly problematic meta.

OG entered TI10 with a roster of many names and years of experience. So can OG get themselves a third Aegis shield? This is a question that only OG can answer.
