Successful debut: on the first matchday of the winter tour of the Western European Dota Pro Circuit, the new squad of OG defeated the opponents of Team Secret with a score of 2:0.

"In our training games we had good results against Secret. We went into the match with a good mentality and it worked. Pretty simple, nothing special," Ammar "ATF" Al-Assaf (16) said in an interview after the game.

"I really wanted to beat Puppey," ATF said in reference to opposing captain Clement "Puppey" Ivanov. ATF is often targeted by Puppey. "He called my teammate bzm an idiot." However, Secret could hardly get against OG. In both games, the third of the World Championship fell behind before the tenth minute, which then continued to increase.

OG had completely reshuffled his team before the start of the new season. Secret only moved to two positions and brought Sumail "SumaiL" Hassan from OG into the team, among others.

At the meeting of Alliance and Tundra Esports, the latter prevailed with a score of 2:0. Alliance lost twice to the exact same hero choice of tundra.
