OG parts ways with three Dota 2 players

OG Esports is losing three players from its Dota 2 roster ahead of the new season. Timothy John "TIMS" Randrup, Polo "Raven" Fausto, and Erin Jasper "Yopaj" Ferrer are all out, per a statement the org posted on social media, which thanked them for a rough-and-tumble season and said it hoped to see them on LAN again.

The year started with OG pivoting its Dota 2 project toward Southeast Asia and bringing in five new players. That didn't stabilize much — Nikko got replaced by TORONTOTOKYO, who himself lasted maybe two months before Raven took over. Results stayed shaky the whole way: 3-4th at BLAST Slam VI, 9-10th at DreamLeague Season 28, 13-14th at ESL One Birmingham, 17-20th at the Esports World Cup.

They still managed to win the Southeast Asia qualifier and make it to The International. Shanghai was short one win in the group stage (over HULIGANI), four losses, and a 0-2 defeat to GamerLegion that sent them home in 14th-15th.

Rumors are already circulating about who's next. SSS, who briefly played for Team Spirit, and OneJey, out of action since October 2025, are both names being floated, along with — somewhat improbably — Topson, the two-time TI champion, who's apparently considering a return. None of this is confirmed yet.

Whether OG rebuilds around Natsumi- and skem, the two players left standing, or tears the whole roster down like Xtreme Gaming just did, is anyone's guess right now.
