OG bench MoDo

The Romanian AWPer's ten-month stint with OG has come to an end.

OG have announced the benching of Mădălin-Andrei "⁠MoDo⁠" Mirea, ending the Romanian's ten-month stint with the organization. In a statement, OG said MoDo has permission to explore new opportunities.

"We truly appreciate his commitment and hard work during his time with the team," said OG. "In the weeks ahead, our focus will be on securing the best possible addition to our active roster."

MoDo posted on X soon after the new was announced, expressing his appreciation to OG. "Thanks to everyone from OG," his statement read. "It was beautiful to work together. Meanwhile I will take some time for myself to come back stronger in-game and mentally!"

MoDo joined OG in April last year from TSM, having initially made his name playing for national side Nexus across 2023. The 21-year-old had big shoes to fill as he was replacing Iulian "⁠regali⁠" Harjău, and he struggled to live up to the task, posting a 1.02 rating during his time with OG.

Not only did MoDo fail to find success individually, OG as a team struggled to produce consistent results during his tenure. Their best result was a second-place finish in Skyesports Masters soon after he joined, and a top-four finish in Thunderpick World Championship 2024. Beyond that, the team failed to win any significant events or qualify for tier-one LANs bar BLAST Fall Groups 2024.

OG are now:

Maciej "⁠F1KU⁠" Miklas
Olle "⁠spooke⁠" Grundström
Christian "⁠Buzz⁠" Andersen
Christoffer "⁠Chr1zN⁠" Storgaard

Lambert "⁠Lambert⁠" Prigent (coach)
