Runner-up finishes at the <a href=\"\/team-secret-sweep-og-to-win-blast-bounty-hunt\/\" title=\"Team Secret sweep OG to win BLAST Bounty Hunt\">BLAST Bounty Hunt<\/a> and ESL One Los Angeles 2020 &#8211; Online: Europe &#038; CIS are the closest they have come to a title this year, while the team also claimed a bronze medal from OGA Dota PIT 2020 Online: Europe\/CIS.<\/p>\n<p>The COVID-19 pandemic has made it difficult for OG to field a complete roster in the past few months; however, even when they&#8217;ve managed to get all five first-team members together, results have been well below expectations.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, it&#8217;s highly unlikely SumaiL&#8217;s performances were the main cause for his departure. The Pakistani Dota2 pro managed a 4.23 KDA, 272 LH, 12.77 DN, 551 GPM and 595 XPM, which are some of the highest averages in the team. Although losing a player of his calibre would be a massive blow to any team, it could be argued that bringing back Ceb will benefit OG greatly.<\/p>\n<div class=\" embed-twitter\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The cold-headed offlane player of a lifetime, the unmatched starving will of OG and chatwheel god <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Ceb?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Ceb<\/a> is back.?<\/p>\n<p>Read more : <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/gbsRPU7tEL\">https:\/\/t.co\/gbsRPU7tEL<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/DreamOG?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#DreamOG<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/nhDBRq95Bv\">pic.twitter.com\/nhDBRq95Bv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; OG (@OGesports) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OGesports\/status\/1287070519901270016?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 25, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>Ceb left OG&#8217;s active roster on January 27, when he decided to take some time to reflect on his future in <a href=\"\/dota-2\/\" title=\"Dota 2 betting sites\">Dota 2 esports<\/a>.

Pushka League, Gamers Without Borders and OGA Dota PIT S1: Europe\/CIS.<\/p>\n<p>According to Ceb, the return to duty and OG&#8217;s worrying state of affairs combined to reignite his competitive flame.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I honestly kinda take offence in the simple fact that other teams think that they can beat us,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ceb also said that his time away from OG, who he joined in 2016, helped reinforce his bond with his teammates.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I actually missed them [teammates] a lot.
