OG beat TSM 3-1 in the final of ESL One Stockholm. The Western European team went a long way through the Lower Bracket and repeatedly narrowly saved themselves from elimination.

"I want to lie in bed now and process what just happened," Tommy "Taiga" Lee said in the press conference after the final. "After that, I will celebrate with Ceb for the first time, because I probably won't have the chance to play with him again.»

Double world champion Sébastian "Ceb" Debs stepped in at short notice. Russian player Mikhail "Misha" Agatov previously could not get a visa to Sweden.

In the Stockholm Hovet Arena, OG was the undisputed favorite of the audience. Almost every move of the team received thunderous applause. A few TSM jerseys could be seen in the sea of OG jerseys, but the fans of the North American team could rarely drown out the OG fan base in Sweden.

ESL One Stockholm: Difficult road into Final

OG, as the winner of the Western European Dota Pro Circuit league, was considered one of the favorites. However, Misha's failure severely affected the team. After a second place in the group stage, OG lost his first playoff match against TSM and fought his way through the lower Bracket to the final.

"Although the team won the major with me, Misha's place in the team is in no way in danger," Ceb said at the press conference. "Without him, we would not have won in any case, since he supported us from afar. He played a very big role.»

World Cup qualification for double World Champion OG sure

With the victory of the EU-DPC and the first place in the major on points, OG has the qualification for the Dota World Championship with great certainty in the box. As was announced during the final, the World Cup will be held in Singapore in October. "Although we are already qualified, we will continue to give 100 percent, even more," Ammar "ATF" Al-Assaf said.

TSM could have been the first North American team to win a Dota major. At least the team's carry player, Enzo "Timado" Gianoli O'Connor, was the first South American player to reach the final of a major. In addition to TSM, the top places are claimed by Western European teams with Tundra Esports in third and Gaimin Gladiators in fourth position. With Erik "tOfu" Engel and Leon "Nine" Kirilin, two Canadians are also in the top four.
