Perspective
Omega was officially launched by PLDT Inc. and its mobile arm, Smart Communications in February 2019. It is a collaboration of the private firms with Sterling Global Dragons[1] which competed in the Road to The Nationals, a tournament held by the Nationals league organizers in 2018 in order to provide a means for the pioneer teams of the league to scout players for their rosters.
The Sterling Global Dragons was the winner of the final Dota 2 tournament of the Road to The Nationals. They secured a 3–1 victory over Station 751 in the championship match of the final tournament which adopted a best-of-five series format.[2] The Dragons qualified for the final tournament of the Road to The Nationals twice. Initially they qualified through the tournament held in Manila. However, due to a roster change they had to forfeit their qualification spot to So Lucky team and qualified again for the final competition through the Cavite qualifiers.[3]
In 2020, the name of the team was changed to just "Smart Omega Esports".
In November 2020, Filipino pro player Hestia "the pakita kigol" signed as the team's new Dota 2 head coach.[4]
On November 23, 2021, Smart Omega was handed a permanent ban from any Valve-sponsored events following a match fixing scandal in the Southeast Asia Dota Pro Circuit League. The ban also included current players Prince Daculan and Ryniel Keit "Zenki" Calvez, as well as previous players Patt Piolo "Piolz" Dela Cruz, Dave "Hiro" Miyata, and now-Execration player Van Jerico Manalaysay. Chris Ian "CTY" Francis Maldo, an Omega coach, was also on the list.[5]
