The esports team OG has accepted an invitation to participate in the IEM Dallas 2023 tournament for CS:GO. However, this time they will compete without their main sniper, Abdul degster Gasanov, as announced on the organization's Twitter.

Lulian regali Harjya, who previously played for the Copenhagen Flames, will be part of OG's lineup at IEM Dallas 2023. The club representatives explained that before the start of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 tournament, Gasanov requested a break from competitions. Considering the absence of scheduled tournaments for the team until the end of the summer break, OG allowed degster to go on inactive status.

At IEM Dallas 2023, OG will be replaced by another European team, although the specific team was not specified by the organizers. Additionally, Fnatic will replace Virtus.pro in this championship since several Virtus.pro players were unable to obtain visas for travel to the United States. OG and Fnatic were selected as the new participants in the competition as they secured the third and fourth places, respectively, in the qualifying tournaments.

IEM Dallas 2023 will take place from May 29 to June 4 in the United States. A total of 16 teams, including G2 Esports, Heroic, FaZe Clan, and Cloud9, will compete for a prize pool of $250,000.
