| Meet the new members of the SMART Omega eSports family. |
In line with their upcoming debut in the second season of the Dota Pro Circuit - Southeast Asia upper division, SMART Omega eSports on Wednesday tapped a couple of individuals, Sam "Sam_H" Hidalgo and Mark "Shanks" Redira.
Hidalgo, a former TNC offlaner and is a veteran of The International, was last with T1. Redira, a 10K MMR support who was last with Indian side Reckoning eSports alongside fellow former Omega teammates Linuel "Teehee" Abanto and Benhur "Benhur" Lawis, was part of the previous Omega roster that had been replaced by the Adroit eSports core prior to the 2021 Dota Pro Circuit season.
In making the announcement, Omega eSports Chief Operating Officer Patrick Cruz says, "First I'd like to say that we're very sad that we have to change the roster again. It's very quick and very sudden, we don't even have any idea how are we going to fill that slots but we're also blessed that we still have talents around the country just like Sam_H and Shanks that are willing to trust Omega to give them another future career in eSports."
Cruz adds, "We are very positive that these boys will definitely do everything they can to reach the DPC Majors for next season."
The two will replace Jun "Bok" Kanehara and Marvin "Boomy" Rushton, who both left for TNC.
They will join midlaner Mc Nicholson "Mac" Villanueva, support Bryle "cml" Alvizo, and carrry Justin "Tino" Grimaldo in a bid to secure a Major slot in the upper division against the likes of Fnatic, Neon eSports, T1, TNC Predator, Boom eSports, Execration, and LilGun.
Season Two is scheduled to open on April 13, with 1150 DPC points up for grabs.
