History was written in Shanghai on Sunday, August 25, when OG lifted the Aegis of Champions for the second consecutive year, becoming the first team to win The International<\/a> twice.<\/p>\n OG started well back in the outright betting for TI9<\/a>, which made them huge underdogs compared to heavyweights such as Team Secret, ViCi Gaming, Team Liquid, Virtus.pro, PSG.LGD and Evil Geniuses.<\/p>\n Yet OG proved the doubters wrong with a strong start that turned into a dominant run in the group stage, where they finished with the best record of the tournament (6-2-0).<\/p>\n By earning 14 points, OG finished well above ViCi (+3), EG (+5) and Virtus.pro (+6), and with that made it clear they mean business and are here to push for the second title. <\/p>\n A first-place finish in Group B earned OG a spot in the upper bracket of playoffs, where they met with the TI4 champions and TI7 runners-up, Newbee.<\/p>\n\n\n\nGG Bet<\/h3>\n \n
