OG sign a new trio, and add Nexa into the mix

OG, the esports organization, has finalized their roster overhaul with the addition of three new players: Iulian "regali" Harjău, Nils "k1to" Gruhne, and Dion "FASHR" Derksen. Additionally, Nemanja "nexa" Isaković has made a comeback to the team after a temporary departure in February.

The Line-up:

F1KU

The only remaining member from the previous lineup is Maciej "F1KU" Miklas. OG's recent changes were prompted by the benching of Adam "NEOFRAG" Zouhar and Abdul "degster" Gasanov, as well as the departure of Shahar "flameZ" Shushan to Vitality following the expiration of his contract.

Nexa

Nexa, the 26-year-old Serbian player, returns to the team as the leader after spending four months on the bench. His first priority will be integrating the new recruits and establishing a cohesive unit.

Regali

Regali, the new AWPer, brings prior experience with OG, having stood in as a substitute during IEM Dallas 2023. Despite OG finishing in 7th-8th place, the Romanian sniper emerged as the team's highest-rated player at the event, showcasing a remarkable 1.14 rating. His exceptional performance left a lasting impression and secured him a permanent spot on the roster.

K1to

K1to, a German player, joins OG following a successful three-year tenure with BIG. During his time with BIG, the team reached the top spot in the world rankings during the online era but struggled to replicate their success in LAN competitions. Nonetheless, they remained a consistent presence at top-tier events, including three post-pandemic Majors. K1to maintained an average rating of 0.99 across 765 maps played, with 2023 being his best year at 1.03 before being benched during BIG's rebuilding phase.

FASHR

FASHR, the final addition to OG's new roster, joins the team after spending just under a year with fnatic. The 27-year-old Dutch player displayed stability and achieved an average rating of 1.02 during his ten months with the squad. One of their notable achievements was reaching the quarter-finals of the IEM Rio Major 2022.

The revamped OG roster is set to make its debut at the BLAST Premier Fall Groups, which starts on July 13.

OG's new roster for the upcoming season consists of:

Maciej "F1KU" Miklas from Poland

Nemanja "nexa" Isaković from Serbia

Iulian "regali" Harjău from Romania

Nils "k1to" Gruhne from Germany

Dion "FASHR" Derksen from the Netherlands

Abdul "degster" Gasanov from Russia has been benched, along with Adam "NEOFRAG" Zouhar from the Czech Republic.
