Will their identities get revealed at the end of season 5 or the beginning of season 6? It would fit well since the beginning of season 6 has this whole fame arc
Nope, sooner than that

TI 8 Finals Game 5 E-Sports Analysis
Dota 2 has a large Professional E-Sports scene, with teams from around the world playing in various professional leagues and tournaments. “The International” a league with over 30-million-dollar prize pool, teams go head-to-head to Defend their Ancients, the game’s most important building, and if it gets destroyed, the inevitable defeat is attained. The game is simple,10 players in a 15,000 x 15,000 game unit map with a left bottom-corner base and a top right-corner base, 5 versus 5. Kill creeps to farm and get gold to buy items at the same time gaining xp’s to level up your hero’s skills. Destroying outer towers is a primary objective to get near to the enemies Ancient. You must know how to control your lanes by knowing when to kill the creeps and when to stop hitting it in order to have and maintain the upper-hand. All you need is your keyboard, mouse, headset and the league will provide High Quality Computer Sets. With games averaging from 30 min to an hour, teams go full to their capabilities and knowledge of the game to get ahead of the other teams, not giving up no matter how long, how risky it takes to achieve “The Aegis”, the league’s prized trophy. Various strategies and techniques are used by different teams known widely by their playstyles. This is a game to either go big or go home.
During “The International 8” held in Vancouver, Canada back in August 20–25, 2018, one of the Greatest Underdogs, the most Cinderella Stories in E-Sports History has been made. The Miraculous Win of Team OG. Betrayal cuts deep. Losing hurts, especially when you lose on the biggest stage your game has to offer, when you lose in front of everyone, when you lose to the underdogs. But there’s something worse than losing. There’s nothing more painful than being betrayed. Seeing someone you considered a friend turn against you, turn against the philosophy you once shared, turn against the band of brothers you put together to win with. And there’s nothing better than getting revenge. The Miraculous Win of Team OG in TI8.
OG was founded on a simple principle. Johan “Big Dady N0tail” Sundestein and Tal “Fly” Aizik were absolute best friends, the founders of the team OG. They believed their principle that if they stick together for long enough, no matter how bitter the end is, you will win eventually. Things shifted ahead of TI8. The OG of the 2017-2018 season was not the OG fans came to recognize. The team just couldn’t put together wins when it mattered, falling to weaker teams and lagging behind in the Dota 2 Pro Circuit. It looked like they weren’t going to make it to TI. In May, Fly broke the promise on which OG was founded. After two years of leading, building and supporting OG, he left. He took Gustav “S4” Magnusson and went to Evil Geniuses, long considered North America’s best team. The team was broken and they had their toughest times. Eventually, OG signed Topias “Topson” Taavitsainen, a promising young rookie, and moved their coach, Sebastien “Ceb” Debs onto the main lineup. Still, few had OG pegged to make a deep run at TI, or even make it at all. But if there’s anything that can fuel a team to victory, it’s a chance to win, but perhaps more importantly, a chance to get revenge on their former captain, their brother who betrayed them. They eventually did it and proceed to the Finals facing off China’s best team. By now, OG were used to being the underdogs.
This was already their best TI performance in the team’s history. Why not take it just a little farther? Once again, OG silenced their doubters. Thanks to an incredible comeback and because of their slow strategies that always shine in the late game, they secured a spot in the Grand Finals. OG was one match away from the Aegis. One match away from the victory that had escaped them for so long. One match away from proving that they didn’t need Fly or S4, they just needed to believe in the thing that had gotten OG so far in the first place. rest of the way. The team is widely known for their turtle strategies, meaning going slow at first but then eventually finish the game at the very end. They picked heroes that would be strong in the late game and it was their playstyle whole throughout the Finals a best of 5 Game. Team OG vs PSG.LGD a Chinese Super Team who are known with their ruthless and aggressive playstyle. On the Final Game with a score of 2-2, Team OG had their backs against the wall. But this time, they picked their main heroes, the heroes they are very good at. They were able to control the midgame by killing particular heroes who can out damage them and managed to secure to kill Roshan in the game, a particular objective that gives you an item that gives a second life to whoever wields it. They get objectives as soon as all of the enemy heroes were dead and pushed their lanes until the Ancient is exposed. At minute 36 of the game GG was called by PSG.LGD a sign of forfeit, as they have accepted their defeat. The power of friendship and determination, the trust in their team’s power and their individual self and strength. They manage to silent the doubters and grasped how sweet the revenge of victory is. At the International 2018, N0tail , JerAx , Ceb , Ana, and Topson proved that the fundamental belief that created OG was true. Sometimes, sticking together, working hard and believing in the team you’ve built means more than the best all-star roster that money can buy. Even when your friends lose their way and become your enemy, even when the world is against you.
