OG<\/a> have won the EPC Shooting Stars prize for being the most improved CS:GO<\/a> team in December on HLTV.org, a month after the team’s formation saw them hit #26.<\/p>\n

Following months of rumours, the OG players were revealed on 4th December and became one of six teams invited to attend cs_summit 5.<\/p>\n

With a semifinal finish to mousesports, OG impressed many who did not know what to expect from an entirely new roster.<\/p>\n

While Issa “ISSAA” Murad and Mateusz “mantuu” Wilczewski have international experience, this marks a first for the remaining three players. Both Nathan “NBK-” Schmitt and Valdemar “valde” Bjørn VangsÃ¥’s only English-speaking roster experience came through separate short-term projects involving Oscar “mixwell” Cañellas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the roster’s rise, OG still need to compete in Open Qualifiers for events like the upcoming IEM Katowice and will likely have to do so for the ESL One Rio Major taking place in May.<\/p>\n
