Veteran offlaner Ivan “MinD_ContRoL” Ivanov was nothing but grateful to OG for giving him the opportunity to compete in the ESL One Berlin Major 2023.

The past few months have been rough for the 28-year-old and his Nigma Galaxy.

“I’m having a lot of fun. Just because I’m at this Major I feel really in a good mood,” said MinD_ControL in an interview.

Considered as one of the best teams on paper, Nigma Galaxy failed to reclaim lost glory in the past two Dota Pro Circuits where they bounced around Divisions I and II in different tours over the past couple of years.

Once a staple in the grandest Dota 2 event in the land, the Nigma Galaxy core has now missed the past two iterations of The International. The last time that the team played in a Dota 2 Major was back in the WePlay Animajor in 2021.

So, suiting up in the Berlin Major – almost two years since he last played on the big stage – and playing alongside OG’s bright and young talents is indeed a breath of fresh air for one of the best offlaners that the Dota 2 has ever seen.

“I feel very grateful that I’m here and play these games [because] I didn’t play in [a] Major for so long but that the guys that I’m [with] make it extra,” he added.

MinD_ContRoL’s veteran presence is definitely one of the biggest reasons why OG is in the upper bracket semifinals where they will take on reigning Lima Major champion Gaimin Gladiators in a best-of-three series.

OG finished second in Group B with a 4-4-0 win-draw-loss standing before sending tournament favorites Team Liquid down the lower bracket via a 2-1 win in the first round of the upper bracket.

“I feel so fucking good that I’m here. It’s so nice, the vibes are great.”
