The Dota Pit Season 5 victory is a dose of revenge for Evil Geniuses against OG. The two teams met in the semifinals of the Boston Major in December 2016 with OG sweeping the series 2-0. Evil Geniuses also fell to OG in the semis at The Summit 6 in November.
The teams will have the opportunity to meet again at the Dota 2 Asia Championships 2017 at the end of March.
