OG surge to No. 23 on VRS after CCT S20 victory

The team jumped 27 places on Valve's ranking despite still not having a complete roster.

OG have emerged victorious from CCT Season 2 Europe Series 20 after a 1.90-rated masterclass from Maciej "⁠F1KU⁠" Miklas powered them past 500 in the grand final.

The Pole recorded the third-best map of his career (2.12 rating on Ancient) and followed it up with a 1.70 showing on Inferno to secure the $22,000 top prize, which provisionally rockets OG up to No. 23 in Valve's Global Ranking (No. 17 in Europe).

The 27-place jump (+16 in Europe) from March 3 puts OG on the cusp of an invite to most 24-team tier-one events, but more importantly, comes just three weeks shy of the April 7 VRS update that will determine invites for the BLAST.tv Austin Major and its Regional Qualifiers.

Regional invites for Europe will go to teams ranked 11-26, with OG now sitting comfortably in the middle of the pack.

The team's surge comes off the back of an exceptional recent run of results after they started using Nico "⁠nicoodoz⁠" Tamjidi as a stand-in following Mădălin-Andrei "⁠MoDo⁠" Mirea's benching in February.

The Danish sniper has averaged a team-high 1.15 rating over 54 maps during his stint and was the driving force behind OG's upset run and near-qualification to PGL Bucharest through the Europe qualifier, which also contributed to the team's steep VRS climb.

He was second-best (1.15 rating) to Christoffer "⁠Chr1zN⁠" Storgaard (1.23) in this CCT run, where OG recovered from a loss to NAVI Junior in the Swiss group stage by beating fnatic to go 3-1.

Wins over Nemiga and Apogee followed in the playoffs before OG showed incredible tenacity against PARIVISION, recovering from a 0-12 blowout and 2-13 defeat on Dust2 to reverse-sweep the series and crushing 500 mere hours later.
