Smart Omega has parted ways with its longtime Mobile Legends: Bang Bang coach Steven “DaleDalus” Vitug on Tuesday night, February 2.
“We are announcing the departure of Coach Dale as our coach. Although we have to walk a different path, the friendship that we built will never end,” the esports organization said in a statement posted on its Facebook page.
Daedalus, 24, steered Omega’s campaign in the recently concluded M2 Mobile Legends: Bang Bang World Championship held in Singapore.
The MPL Philippines Season 6 runner-up swept its matches in the group stage for an upper bracket spot but failed to win a series and even a single game in the playoffs, resulting in a 5th-6th place finish in the 12-team world tournament which was won by fellow Filipino team Bren Esports.

Rising star midlaner Mc Nicholson “Mac” Villanueva carried Smart Omega to an easy 2-0 sweep of ZeroTwo for a triumphant start in the lower division of the Dota Pro Circuit (DPC)-Southeast Asia Regional League on Wednesday.
Mac unleashed solid performances on his Batrider and Death Prophet against the squad led by Indonesian stalwart Muhammad “inYourdreaM” Rizky, enabling the SEA Games gold-winning players to close out the series in just a total of 63 minutes.
With the swift sweep, Omega seized an early joint leadership with the Galvin “Meracle” Kang Jian Wen and Lee “Forev” Sang Don-led HOYO, which posted a 2-0 victory over Yangon Galacticos in the league opener last Monday.
