Player Johnny Speeds, Olle "spooke" Grundström, was recently seen in the OG lineup during practice matches and even played an official game for them in the CCT Season 2 Europe Series 14 against Spirit Academy. Additionally, Jakub "M1key" Krausko was spotted in the OG lineup, and according to insider solutioN00, he will be signed by the team. However, a different player was in the official game today.

Both players are being tested for the spot of Bram "Nexius" Campana, who joined the team in December 2023 and was part of the active lineup. But after the failure in the closed qualifiers, it seems the team decided to part ways with him.

spooke is in high demand right now, as he should be. He's incredibly talented. We'll see what offers he gets and how he feels with the team he's currently practicing with

 

Information from solutioN00

As reported by solutioN00, on October 1, the OG team played practice matches with Jakub "M1key" Krausko in place of Nexius, but the duration was not disclosed. He also mentioned yesterday that M1key will be signed by OG. 

Currently, M1key is playing for UNiTY and successfully qualified with them for the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024: European RMR. But it seems he will move to a team that will miss the RMR. 

Details of the Match Against Spirit Academy

Unfortunately, the team lost the match 2-1, where spooke did not perform at his best, and the team didn't either. His rating in the match was 5.5, the second-worst in the team after sniper MoDo. After the defeat, the team exited the tournament, finishing 9-16th without any rewards.

Conclusion

For OG, this will be another opportunity to strengthen the roster since past attempts were very poor. Recently, the team has been showing poor results, and without improvement, this replacement won't be the last in this lineup.
