OG Forced to Substitute Three Players for Berlin Major Due to Visa Issues

OG, one of Western Europe’s representatives at the Berlin Major, will be competing with substitutes in their roster due to visa issues.

The team will be missing offlaner Dmitry “DM” Dorokhin, hard support Evgenii “Chu” Makarov, and coach Mikhail “Misha” Agatov. Nigma Galaxy’s Ivan “MinD_ContRoL” Ivanov and Old G’s Kartik “Kitrak” Rathi have been brought in as substitutes for the event.

OG announced the news on their social media accounts and expressed their gratitude to MinD_ContRoL and Kitrak for coming to their aid. The team hopes that their original players will be able to join them later in the event.

OG, the defending champions of the ESL One Stockholm Major, faced visa issues last year as well, but they managed to claim the trophy. With a substitute-heavy roster, they will be looking to repeat their success this time around.

The Berlin Major is one of the biggest esports tournaments of the year, with a prize pool of $500,000. It will feature 18 teams from around the world, all competing for the title of world champion.
