The curtains are about to rise on a brutal and unforgiving behind-the-scenes look at OG’s tumultuous start to the 2024/2025 season, aptly titled Lessons in Defeat. This documentary, announced via a tweet and social post earlier today, promises to pull back the veil on the team’s struggles, laying bare the harsh realities of their disappointing performance. The documentary’s debut is set for May 1 at 2:00 PM CEST, and it will be available for viewing on OG’s YouTube channel.
For fans who have been following OG’s journey over the last two years, the title of the documentary comes as no surprise. The team has been a mere shadow of its former self, failing to live up to expectations and struggling to find their footing in the competitive Dota 2 scene. The squad’s barren trophy cabinet, devoid of any major tournament wins in over three years, is a stark reminder of their decline. Moreover, their inability to qualify for many Tier 1 competitions has been a source of frustration for the team and its fans.

Their last major victory was at ESL One Malaysia 2022, when the team boasted a lineup featuring Bozhidar “bzm” Bogdanov and Artem “Yuragi” Golubiev. Since then, the team has been searching for that elusive win, but to no avail.
In a bid to revamp their fortunes, OG recently introduced a new roster, OG.LATAM, comprising top-tier South American Dota 2 players. While the new team looks promising on paper, it remains to be seen whether they can live up to expectations. It’s worth noting that OG.LATAM will not replace OG’s WEU roster, meaning the organization will continue to compete in both Europe and South America.

Will Lessons in Defeat provide a turning point for the team, or will it serve as a stark reminder of their decline? One thing is certain – the Dota 2 community will be watching with bated breath as OG’s story unfolds. With the BLAST Slam III just around the corner, fans can expect more updates and insights into the world of competitive Dota 2. For now, all eyes are on OG and their behind-the-scenes documentary, Lessons in Defeat.
