OG weren't just underdogs at The International 2018, they weren't even supposed to be there.

Betrayed by their former leader, they barely qualified through an open bracket, and everyone had them pegged as a last-place team at the most prestigious tournament in esports.

But OG shocked the world with a miraculous upper bracket run all the way to the grand finals. But there, in Game 4, with their opponents, PSG.LGD on match point, it looked like the OG luck had run out.

Ana got jumped, almost everyone was dead, it all looked over. Until Ceb made the split-second play that changed Dota history.

Ceb's Axe Call is one of the most iconic plays in esports, and we're going to break it down for you.
