The SRG OG collaboration has become surprising news. There were no rumors or news about this until the past week.
Even a week ago, something was hinted at when SRG gave signals on their social media. People immediately began to speculate.
Finally, on Monday afternoon local time, the SRG OG collaboration was announced. This became big news in the esports scene, as both teams have their own golden eras.
We know that OG was once dominant in the Dota 2 scene a few years ago. Meanwhile, SRG is the reigning champion of EWC 2024 for Mobile Legends.
The assumption that the SRG OG collaboration is for EWC 2025 quickly emerged, as most teams collaborate or acquire others to pursue success in the Esports World Cup.
However, it would be strange if that were the goal, considering the new EWC rules: collaborative teams will not accumulate EWC points. This rule has led many collaborative teams to end their partnerships.
Upon closer inspection, the reason behind the SRG OG collaboration is not EWC. According to WTM Today, there is another purpose driving this collaboration.
Why Did SRG OG Collaborate?
Given the oddity surrounding the potential collaboration and the EWC 2025 rules, it turns out that SRG OG was not created for the global esports tournament.
From the explanation on WTM Today's Instagram, the SRG OG collaboration is more about co-branding between SRG and OG. It is also a way for OG to penetrate the Asia-Pacific market through Mobile Legends.
Interestingly, if SRG OG qualifies for EWC 2025, the team will only use one name, SRG, following EWC rules, and will not involve the OG name at all.
The SRG OG name will only be used by the team in MPL MY S15. Therefore, the purpose of the SRG OG collaboration is more about the partnership between the two organizations and OG's efforts to step into the Asian market, which they have never experienced before.
It will be very interesting to see how long the SRG OG collaboration will last. Will this be a successful partnership or not? Let's wait and see together.
