(Smart) is supporting the Omega Esports DOTA 2 team as they participate in the ongoing DOTA Professional Circuit (DPC) Season 2. The Smart Omega DOTA 2 secured its first win in the DPC league, beating Mongolia's Lilgun during its upper-division debut — their step forward to qualifying for The International (TI) USD 40 million tournament which will be held in Sweden this year. Smart Omega will be facing SK Telecom-backed T1 on April 17, 2021. This comes on the heels of Smart Omega’s success at the PNXBET Invitationals Season 4, and the Asian New Bloom Tournament, where they emerged as champions. We hope that the Smart Omega team can continue to be an inspiration to Filipino casual players and fans and help them realize and pursue their passion for esports,” said Jude Michael H. Turcuato, FVP and Head of Sports at Smart. Smart Omega Esports welcomed The International veteran Sam "Sam_H" Hidalgo and high-ranking professional player Mark "Shanks" Redira to the team, completing their DOTA 2 roster, which includes Mc Nicholson “Mac” Villanueva, Bryle “cml” Alvizo, and Justin “Tino” Grimaldo.
