OG will attend the LAN event in Dallas with a slightly different lineup. Instead of Abdul degster Gasanov, the sniper role for the team at IEM Dallas 2023 will be filled by Lulian regali Harjau, a former player from CPH Flames and Fnatic Rising.

If we look at the statistics, degster and regali are players of a similar level. However, Abdul has had more opportunities to compete at the tier-1 level compared to the 20-year-old Romanian.

OG's management did not disclose the reasons for degster's absence at IEM Dallas 2023, so we can only speculate whether it is due to personal reasons or visa issues. If the esports player were to leave the club altogether, OG would be at a disadvantage, losing their best player. After all, Gasanov is the last member of the roster that OG needs to replace, as F1KU and NEOFRAG, who have consistently failed to meet expectations, are still on the team.

OG will begin their performance at IEM Dallas 2023 with a match against FURIA on May 29 in Group A. The club will compete in the following lineup at the championship:

• regali (stand-in)
• niko (stand-in)
• F1KU
• NEOFRAG
• flameZ
• ruggah (coach)
