OG dominates ESL One Franfkfurt and wins the tournament

OG has proved to the whole world that they are the best Dota 2 team right now, winning ESL One Frankfurt just a week after becoming the first team to ever win two Valve-sponsored events at the Manila Major.

The European team only dropped one map the entire tournament. They dominated the competition similarly to their nearly undefeated playoff run at the Manila Major. Only Team Liquid were able to challenge OG. Opening the series with a 1-0 lead after taking OG down in less than 19 minutes. But just like in the Manila Major grand finals, OG beat Team Liquid in the remaining games. The Liquid roster has made consistency their hallmark, and would have almost been guaranteed a spot in the grand finals had they not shared a bracket with OG.

Instead, OG faced Na`Vi in the finals, marking the second time in just a month the teams played each other in a best-of-five finals. But just like last time, OG seemed to just want to get it over with. After thoroughly demolishing Na`Vi in the two opening games, the Manila Major champions decided to play with their food for the finisher: Star players Amer “Miracle-” Al-Barkawi and Andreas Franck “Cr1t-” Nielsen swapped roles mid-series.
