3 ESL ONE FRANKFURT 2014 A staggering amount of 22,000 eyes at Commerzbank-Arena in Frankfurt, watched Invictus Gaming rampaging through ESL s first ever rendition of the One series for Dota2. Following their barrage of first and second place finishes throughout the year, the Chinese powerhouse came into Frankfurt with the guts to conquer another title and further strengthen the Chinese dominance in the Dota2 scene. Despite not receiving a direct invite for the event, ig secured their spot after scoring an easy 3-1 win over LGD at the Chinese qualifiers. Coming into the main event, no team, not even the soon to be TI5 winners, Evil Geniuses, managed to stop them from stomping over their heroes and claiming the lion s share of the $210,000 prize pool ESL ONE FRANKFURT 2015 After having almost a full year of pure dominance in the Dota 2 scene, the Chinese teams started to struggle to remain on top and other teams saw the opportunity to surpass them. The rise of 2015 saw the upsurge of one of the soon to be strongest teams in the whole world to date. Team Secret, after becoming one of the three teams to receive a direct invite to join the stage at Commerzbank-Arena, breezed through both the quarterfinals and the semifinals with confident 2-0 scores against Fnatic and the former ESL One Frankfurt title holders, Invictus Gaming, came face to face with the American titans, Evil Geniuses. But, it wasn t their time to shine bright yet. Over a million concurrent viewers watched Team Secret mopping the floor with EG, and eventually getting that most wanted golden medal for themselves WE STARTED IN 2014

4 ESL ONE FRANKFURT 2016 Within less than a year, Notail s OG went on to grow from underdogs to one of the major TI6 champions title contenders. OG started to show their true potential during late 2015, when they conquered Valve s first ever Major, the Frankfurt Major, while from that point onwards, they just kept on sweeping through first places like it was dust from the floor. Coming into ESL One Frankfurt 2016, OG s tremendous momentum just kept on rolling with them, as they managed to trample over Liquid at the semifinals easily, while their impeccable performance against Na Vi at the Grand Finals was nothing short of an eye-candy. Having the crowd roaring their name and their confidence hitting the roof, OG lifted the trophy in Commerzbank-Arena and brought home the staggering amount of $157,000. ESL ONE HAMBURG 2017 Throughout 2017 Virtus.pro exhibited impeccable performance, rising slowly yet steadily from the bottom to the top of the ladder. Even though they had to overcome their demons from the past, the new bears played consistently throughout every event they participated, scoring a barrage of first and second place finishes all year round, culminating in them conquering ESL One Hamburg. On their way to claiming the trophy, VP had to face some of the strongest teams from across all regions, incl. Newbee, Team Liquid and Secret, but eventually their aggressive, yet respectful, gameplay prevailed all of their opponents and single handedly earned them the first DPC points of the season. Right off the bat, VP showed no signs of slowing down, rampaging through the Group Stage and the Playoffs, losing just one game against Liquid and Newbee respectively, but apparently that wasn t enough to put them on a stop as they were determined to have their name engraved as ESL One Dota2 champion. AND CREATED LEGENDARY ESPORTS MOMENTS THAT LIVE FOREVER
