OG Sign Portuguese Rifler arrozdoce on a Permanent Deal

OG have officially confirmed the permanent signing of Rafael “arrozdoce” Wing, marking the Portuguese rifler’s full-time addition to their roster after a successful three-week trial. The move was announced on August 14, 2025, on HLTV.org.

Roster Changes and Immediate Role

Arrozdoce replaces long-standing roster member Maciej "F1KU" Miklas, who departed after a three-year tenure with the organization. During his brief stand-in period, the 23-year-old posted a 0.88 rating and played a pivotal role in OG’s triumph at CCT Season 3 Europe Series 4.

Although OG did not release any direct quotes from the player or the organization in the announcement, arrozdoce himself expressed frustration with his recent form in a post on X (formerly Twitter) following the final against PARIVISION.

Background: A Journey through SAW and NIP

Prior to his stint with OG, arrozdoce had a turbulent six months with Ninjas in Pyjamas (NiP). In July 2025, NiP announced his benching and replacement by Kacper “xKacpersky” Gabara on loan. Before that, he was part of the SAW roster from April 2023 until late 2024, during which time the team achieved several milestones—most notably becoming the first Portuguese team to qualify for a Major, and earning a top‑10 world ranking after a breakthrough IEM Cologne run.

OG’s Updated Lineup Profile

As of this signing, OG's active roster features:

• nicoodoz (Denmark)

• spooke (Sweden)

• arrozdoce (Portugal)

• adamb (Sweden) — signed in July to replace Buz

• Chr1zN (Denmark)

Their coach remains Lambert “Lambert” Prigent. OG currently hold the #32 spot in the world rankings, with a peak as high as #27.

What Lies Ahead for arrozdoce and OG

Arrozdoce is set to make his debut as a full member of OG in the Europe Closed Qualifier for StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2025, where they are scheduled to face TNL on August 14, 2025.

Summary

OG have sealed the deal on a full-time contract for Rafael "arrozdoce" Wing, padding their rifle lineup with a young and hungry player. His recent performance during the CCT victory showcased his potential, and he now steps into a defined role with OG after earlier transitions from SAW to NiP. With the revamped roster, OG are poised to make a strong push in upcoming qualifiers and tournaments.
