In a move that signals both stability and ambition, esports organization OG has officially unveiled its Dota 2 roster for the upcoming DreamLeague Season 27 closed qualifiers. The confirmation brings clarity to the team`s immediate future as they prepare for a high-stakes competition.
A Familiar Core, Bolstered by New Talent
The announcement confirms that OG will retain the majority of its recent lineup, integrating two new faces to complete their formidable five-man squad. This approach suggests a deliberate strategy: building upon established team synergy while injecting fresh perspectives and mechanical prowess.
The finalized roster for the DreamLeague Season 27 qualifiers is as follows:
- Indji “Shad” Lub
- Mihajlo “MikSa`” Jovanović
- Tamir “Daze” Tokpanov
- Igor “Stojkov” Stojkov (new addition)
- Rodrigo “Lelis” Lelis Santos (new addition)
Integrating New Blood: Stojkov and Lelis Join the Ranks
The addition of Igor “Stojkov” Stojkov and Rodrigo “Lelis” Lelis Santos is a noteworthy development. Stojkov`s last known affiliation was with Zero Tenacity, a team he departed in August 2025 – a rather forward-looking date, perhaps indicating long-term planning or simply a future contractual conclusion. Lelis, a player with considerable experience, last competed under the Into The Breach banner, concluding his tenure in January.
Both players bring their unique skill sets and competitive experiences to OG, an organization synonymous with innovative play and deep runs in major tournaments. Their integration into an already seasoned core will be critical to the team`s performance.
The Road Ahead: DreamLeague Season 27 Eastern European Qualifiers
OG`s immediate challenge lies in the closed qualifiers for DreamLeague Season 27, specifically for the Eastern European region. Scheduled to take place from September 24th to 26th, this qualifier is not merely another tournament; it`s a gateway. A single, coveted slot is available for the main stage of DreamLeague Season 27, a tournament boasting a substantial prize pool of one million dollars.
The Eastern European Dota 2 scene is notoriously competitive, often described as a crucible where only the most resilient and strategically adept teams emerge. For OG, navigating this gauntlet will require peak performance, seamless coordination, and perhaps a touch of that famous OG flair that has defined their legacy.
Optimism and Anticipation
With a confirmed roster blending veteran presence with promising new talent, OG appears well-positioned to tackle the challenges of DreamLeague Season 27. The esports community will undoubtedly be watching closely to see if this carefully constructed lineup can secure its place among the elite and contend for one of Dota 2`s most prestigious titles. The journey to the million-dollar main event begins in late September, and for OG, the stage is set.
