OG fans have been made to wait an agonizing couple of days to discover just what this new lineup was going to look like. After the departures of ana, JerAx, and Ceb from the roster, it was left until the conclusion of True Sight for the first piece of the puzzle to be revealed. Syed Sumail “SumaiL” Hassan, who had been inactive for Evil Geniuses since late last year was revealed to be the latest member of OG.
During a dedicated AMA session with new player SumaiL, N0tail, and Ceb, the trio shared their hopes for the future. The promise and expectations for Sumail are massive, with much mutual respect between the players.
After a brief Q&A session with OG’s new CS:GO roster, the news was finally here. OG Gorgc confirmed as Janne “Gorgc” Stefanovski was named the newest member of the organization. The news had been teased for a good amount of time, with Ceb earlier posting pictures of him and N0tail meeting Gorgc in Berlin.

However, it wasn’t the reveal we were expecting, as Gorgc will strictly be creating content for OG, rather than being a part of the team’s full-time roster. The team will experiment with the role, giving Gorgc unprecedented access to the team and their goings-on.
Well. OG.Gorgc is a thing.

Finally, after an hour of teasing the event revealed the Saksa would take up the Support role for OG. After runs with Digital Chaos in 2016-17, and Ninjas in Pyjamas in 2018-2019, the Macedonian pro found himself team less towards the end of last year.
We were looking for an available position 4 player to match our expectations.
Luckily we've met this guy at the restaurant!Please welcome @saksadota to the OG family!
