Igor "iLTW" Filatov is standing in for Yeik "MidOne" Nai Zheng in the OG line up during the OGA Dota PIT Season 4 Europe/CIS. OG are already a step closer to the finals.

The OGA Dota Pit Season 4 Europe/CIS kicked off yesterday. Eight of the best teams from the regions have gathered to compete for a total prize pool of $150,000. Here’s the full list of participants:

OG
Natus Vincere
Virtus.pro
Team Nigma
mudgolems
Live to Win
Alliance
Vikin.gg

Initially, Just Error were on the list but since the team disbanded after their first tournament, their spot was taken by Live to Win. Additionally, OG are playing with a man down since Yeik "MidOne" Nai Zheng will be missing the entire event. Igor "iLTW" Filatov will be standing in for him.

As our beloved MidOne is currently Storm Hammering back home for a well deserved holiday break, we will be playing with Igor “iLTW” Filatov for the whole duration of DotaPit who will stand in for him.An old friend steps in when we need him the most, thanks for the help Igor! Let’s play some Dota!

It’s all a bit ironic since iLTW plays for Live to Win and his team is also in the tournament. He basically left his own team behind to help OG. In return Live to Win are also using a substitute in the face of Kiyalbek "dream" Tayirov who last played for Gambit Esports.

OG’s first series in the event was against Virtus.pro, a team that just took the title in the Epic League. Despite playing with a stand-in the two-time TI champion did a reverse sweep and took the bears down with a 2:1. Today they’ll be going against their next opponent – Team Nigma. Don’t miss the series on the official OGA Dota PIT Twitch channel.

Here’s the full schedule for today:

Natus Vincere vs. Alliance – 13:00 CET
OG vs. Team Nigma –16:00 CET
Live to Win vs. mudgolems – 19:00 CET
Virtus.pro vs Vikin.gg – 22:00 CET

Mudgolems are also missing an official member after BoraNija left the team. Currently, they’re playing with Ondřej "Supream^" Štarha but whether he’ll remain in the team for good remains to be seen. OGA Dota PIT Season 4 Europe/CIS will come to an end this Friday, December 18.
