OG became the first team in Dota 2 history to win The International twice – and also successfully defended the title last year. With this win, the team with esports earnings tops the leaderboard.
The International 2019 has the biggest prize pool in esports history; beat all other esports by reaching over $30,000,000 USD and coming in at $34,306,390. After OG won the prestigious tournament in 2018, these five players started to appear in the top earners – but this is not the first time they have appeared on this list.
In 2016 and early 2017, the early days of OG, the team achieved some great results – winning 4 Majors: Frankfurt, Manilla, Boston and Kiev. While these tournaments appeared before the Dota 2 Pro Circuit was created, each also had a prize money of $3,000,000 with the winning team taking home $1,000,000. At that point, OG was a bit different, with the likes of Amer ‘Miracle’ Al-Barkawi, Tal ‘Fly’ Azik and Gustav ‘s4’ Magnusson all in the squad – while Sébastien ‘Ceb’ Debs did coaching. pellets.
However, OG made a real breakthrough when using the new lineup at The Internatioanl 2018. Many people called that victory a “virtual victory” or simply OG “lucky”. Now, after the intense TI9 tournament, the critics have been silenced.
According to the new esports bounty update, OG has overtaken the TI7 champion, Team Liquid, leaving all five players on the team at the top of the leaderboard. Each player from the team made over $3,000,000 from TI9 – more than the prize money from recent Fortnite champion Bugha – he’s not even in the top 10 on this list.
Congratulations to OG on this amazing win and the historic record they’ve created, showing a passion for the game that will take you to new milestones in your life.
