OG announced the benching of Matthew «Ari» Walker. In the official statement, the club thanked the player for his contributions to the team over the past year but did not disclose the reasons behind the decision or any future plans.

Ari joined OG in 2023, playing in the support position. During his tenure, the team displayed inconsistent results, leading to questions about potential roster changes. Now, OG has taken the first step by benching Ari, which could signify the start of a restructuring.

The organization has yet to reveal who will replace Ari, and the player himself has not commented on his future. He may return to the main roster if this is a temporary decision, but a complete departure from the club is also possible. OG may announce further changes soon.

Ari began his career in 2022, playing for Into The Breach. He then played for TSM, achieving significant success in North America, including victories in DPC NA 2023 Tour 1 and 2. In 2023, he joined OG, where he spent a full season participating in major tournaments such as The International 2023 and Riyadh Masters 2024. Throughout his career, Ari has earned $180,207 in prize money.
