The post-The International 2026 roster shuffle period sees OG part with three of their players.
OG have broken their silence amid the ongoing post-The International (TI) 2026 roster shuffle, announcing the departure of three of the team's players–
Erin Jasper “Yopaj” Ferrer, Marc Polo Luis “Raven” Fausto, and Timothy “TIMS” Randrup.
With the departures, the two-time The International-winning organisation now remains with captain and support player Rolen Andre Gabriel “Skem” Ong, alongside carry player John Anthony “Natsumi-” Vargas.
OG Esports has yet to announce replacements to fill in the three empty spots. But we can expect the organisation to finalise its roster soon, with the first Tier 1 Dota 2 tournament of the season just around the corner.
OG Esports shake up Filipino roster after difficult competitive season
OG have endured a devastating 2025/2026 competitive season. The European organisation started the season with a surprising pivot into Southeast Asia, acquiring a full Filipino roster featuring notable local talents.
To everyone's surprise, the team enjoyed a strong start, securing three consecutive Top 6 finishes–OG’s most consistent run in several years. The team then peaked with a 3rd-4th place finish at BLAST Slam VI before hitting a hard wall.
A dip in results led to a rocky roster shuffle, with OG briefly replacing Nikko “Force” Bilocura (also known as Nikko) with 
Alexander “TORONTOTOKYO” Khertek before ultimately bringing in Raven in the offlane for its TI 2026 campaign.
The team swiftly qualified for TI 2026 through the SEA qualifier, but it was only a brief reprieve before they crashed out of The International 2026 with a disappointing performance. OG was one of three teams to be eliminated in the Group Stage, bombing out in a 14th-15th placement.
It marked a disastrous end to the season for OG after such a promising start. While the organisation appears set to remain in the region, it has begun reshuffling its roster, with three new players expected to be unveiled soon.
The player departures on OG is the latest major roster change in the ongoing post-TI 2026 roster shuffle. Check out GosuGamers' post-TI 2026 roster shuffle tracker to keep track of how the competitive Dota 2 landscape will look like for the 2026-2027 season.
