OG sign bodyy on loan from 3DMAX, bench FL4MUS amid ranking slump

OG add bodyy on loan to replace FL4MUS

OG have announced the addition of Alexandre “bodyy” Pianaro on a temporary loan from 3DMAX, with the experienced French rifler stepping into the active lineup in place of Timur “FL4MUS” Marev, who has been moved to the organization’s inactive roster.

The move marks the European organization’s first roster change of 2026 and comes as OG attempt to halt a steady drop in the Valve Regional Standings (VRS) following a string of disappointing results.

OG’s struggles early in 2026

OG entered the new season with moderate expectations after beginning the year ranked No.49 in the VRS. The team had shown early promise with a 3–4th place finish at DreamHack Knockout Stockholm, where the lineup debuted with both Casper “cadiaN” Møller and FL4MUS in the roster.

However, their form quickly deteriorated over the following months. The squad endured last-place finishes at BLAST Bounty and CCT Season 3 Series 12, followed by a 9–12th place exit in the IEM Atlanta Closed Qualifier despite making it through the open qualifier stage. These poor results caused OG to plummet to No.92 in the latest VRS update, putting their Major qualification hopes at risk.

With the VRS rankings now playing a key role in determining invitations and qualification paths for upcoming events and Major cycles, the organization opted to make a roster change in an attempt to reverse the decline.

bodyy returns to top-level competition

The incoming player, bodyy, joins OG after being moved to the bench of 3DMAX in February 2026 to make room for Kévin “misutaaa” Rabier in the French lineup. During his year-long stint with 3DMAX, the 29-year-old rifler posted a 1.03 rating, bringing stability and experience to the team before ultimately losing his starting spot.

In a statement following the announcement, bodyy expressed enthusiasm about the opportunity:

“Happy to join OG for the next few weeks on a temporary loan… Time to give everything to climb the VRS ranking and see if we can get back into the Major race.”

His addition provides OG with a veteran presence and a player who has previously competed at the highest level of Counter-Strike, including stints with teams such as G2 earlier in his career.

End of FL4MUS’s run with OG

bodyy replaces FL4MUS, who had joined OG on a long-term loan from Virtus.pro in November 2025, with an option for a permanent transfer.

The 21-year-old Russian rifler was initially expected to act as the team’s primary space-creator after Virtus.pro had moved him to the bench earlier in 2025.

Despite showing flashes of potential during his time with the team, OG ultimately decided to move him to the inactive roster following the squad’s poor results in early 2026. Reports indicate the player could potentially return to Virtus.pro, the organization that still holds his contract.

Debut at Roman Imperium Cup VI

OG’s revamped lineup will make its debut at Roman Imperium Cup VI, scheduled to take place from March 12–15 in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal. The team has been placed in Group D, where they will face BC.Game and Alliance in the group stage.

The event will serve as an early test for the new roster as OG attempt to rebuild momentum and climb back into contention in the VRS standings.

• Olle “spooke” Grundström
