Pajkatt parts ways with Team OG; replacement to be announced tomorrow.

The winner of last years International Team OG are struggling to find a replacement for Ana. When Ana left the team in November, OG announced Pajkatt as his replacement. However, after two months with the roster, the player is set to part ways with the team. It is a mutual understanding between the two parties and there is no bad blood involved. There was a vivid lack of chemistry for the player with the team.

Team Chemistry is a sensitive issue as the best players playing together might not result in best chemistry. Pajkatt helped the team qualify for the upcoming Bucharest Minor. However, without playing in the minor, the player will be leaving the active roster. Team OG is on the lookout for a fifth member. They will host tryouts for the team and will announce a replacement tomorrow.

Team OG statement:

As we’ve only recently announced he would be replacing Anathan ‘Ana’ Pham, we feel the need to elaborate a little bit more on the step we are presently taking.

OG’s spirit has always been the one of trust and stability. We do not shy away from challenges or hard work, as you all know. We brought in Pajkatt.  He is a very mechanically gifted player, a great DotA mind but also a truly professional team member.

During the weeks following his addition to our DotA 2 roster, we faced chemistry issues.
We realized there was not enough space in OG for Pajkatt to express his full potential. His profile, at the end of the way, no matter how excellent it is, did not match.

Team chemistry is a very complex matter, and regardless of how competent an individual is, sometimes the puzzle just doesn’t come together.

Pajkatt is a great player, and I feel blessed that I got the chance to learn from him, but when a team with recent success brings in a new player, it is a difficult position to be in for anyone.
I’d like to extend a huge thanks to Pajkatt for the time we spent in Paris, and also a huge thanks to everyone else who keeps supporting OG through thick and thin!

All the best in the future PJ

And a kickass 2019 to you all!

Per Anders ‘Pajkatt’ Olsson Lille

Thanks for giving me the chance to play, it’s unfortunate that things didn’t work out, I wish OG good luck for what’s coming next.

The organisation has already announced that they will pick up a new player after tryouts. They will announce their new player tomorrow. The Bucharest Minor starts on the 9th of January, so OG need to move fast with their roster changes. We will keep you updated with any news of their fifth player.
