BetBoom Team faced OG during the first day of the DreamLeague Season 22 group stage 2 in a best-of-three series. BetBoom Team eventually emerged victorious after winning games two and three. Following the series, BetBoom Team’s Alexander "TORONTOTOKYO" Khertek sat down for an interview with Dota 2 caster and content creator Jorien "Sheever" van der Heijden. During the interview, TORONTOTOKYO noted that OG was performing better than before.
Notably, BetBoom Team played against OG three times this year and had convincingly won over OG in the last two series but at the DreamLeague Season 22 group stage 2, OG managed to win one game against BetBoom Team.
“They’re Now a Little Bit Better,” Says TORONTOTOKYO
On 1st March, BetBoom Team’s TORONTOTOKYO sat down in a post-game interview with Dota 2 caster Sheever and talked about OG’s current form, and his opinions and thoughts after facing the team three times already in 2024.
BetBoom went up against OG twice at the DreamLeague Season 22 and won the first series with a clean sweep. However, facing the team for a second time in the second phase of the group stage, OG managed to win against BetBoom Team, signifying an improvement in its gameplay and drafts.
Sheever noticed this and asked BetBoom Team’s support what was different this time around that OG managed to win against BetBoom Team.
TORONTOTOKYO candidly replied, “I think they are now a little bit better, of course. They like... they better than before we played. They got a normal group stage and also the first game we didn't play that well. The draft was not good. If we didn’t make mistakes but we made mistakes and then it's really hard to play. Other games we just played late game and we didn’t really care.”
OG’s performance improvement since a change in carry cannot be argued, as looking at the stats alone speaks volumes. At the BetBoom Dacha 2024, Dubai OG finished the tournament with a last-place standing. While at the DreamLeague Season 22, OG was one of the the four teams that qualified from the competitive group table A. Group table A featured some big teams such as ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 Champions Azure Ray and Chinese Dota 2 powerhouse G2.iG.
OG also recently let go of its trusted carry Artem "Yuragi" Golubiev who was playing with OG since 2021. In his place, it brought in former TSM and Tundra carry Enzo "Timado" Gianoli.
