ESL One Frankfurt: Perseverance is rewarded - OG receive invite

posted by Malystryx.GDS,
They may have stumbled in the final third at the Shanghai Major but eu OG are the recipients of the second direct invite to ESL One Frankfurt 2016.


The first of the three direct invites for ESL One Frankfurt was announced on Tuesday, with Starladder i-League winners se Alliance the first team to be invited.

OG had a rough March, finishing 7-8th at the Shanghai Major before then being eliminated in the first round of DotaPit Season 4 LAN Finals by the eventual winners kr MVP Phoenix*. However, before March OG had a great spell, finishing top 3 in four different LAN events between November and January, including first place at the Frankfurt Major and DreamLeague Season 4.

Eight teams will participate in the $250,000 event in the CommerzBank Arena in Frankfurt from the 18th-19th June, with five teams coming from Regional qualifiers. The European and SEA Main Qualifiers are already underway, and you can check the brackets so far here. Only one direct invite remains to be unveiled, but considering both Alliance and OG were chosen, it seems probable the third invite will also be a team who have shown stability.
