You red that right, ladies and gentlemen, OG wins The International 2019. For the first time in Dota 2 history, a team became back-to-back champions.
What an incredible series of games put on display as part of the best of 5 Grand Final. Find out just what in the world happened.
At the start of the tournament, you would scarcely have thought it possible. OG’s form had been intermittent in the run-up to TI. Some shocking drafts and some disappointing finishes were, it seems, just practice for their dominance of the mainstage at The International.
OG faced off against Team Liquid in the Grand Final in a best of 5 series. Liquid took game one in a swings and roundabouts game. For reasons beyond understanding, Anathan “ana” Pham held on to his buyback while OG’s throne was under siege. This cost them dearly as, when he did use it, it was already too late. Liquid swept game one away.
However, this was to be the last success Liquid would enjoy at TI9.
OG, in arguably the most dominant performance in the history of TI Grand Finals’, blitzed the next THREE games in sub-30 minutes. The casting team could barely believe what they were seeing. Owen “ODPixel” Davies, who had the privilege of casting the Grand Final, showered OG with praise upon their victory.
“ They are so far ahead of anyone else who plays this game for a living. ”
