OB x Neon Esports is well on its way to this year’s multi-million dollar The International.
Thanks to its solid performance in the Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) Season 1 capped by a stellar finish in the ONE Esports Singapore Major, Neon went on a tie at No. 5 with Thunder Predator in the DPC rankings with 600 points.
Same with TI9, the top 12 teams in the DPC rankings will directly qualify to the most anticipated Dota 2 global tournament held annually (except last year’s edition which was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic).
Neon collected 300 points after finishing second to Fnatic in the inaugural season of the DPC Southeast Asia upper division.
Neon brings Team Secret to its limit, gracefully exits The Singapore Major

The Singapore Major is not yet over. Yet, we already have a series that many Dota 2 fans will remember for a long time. The series between Neon Esports and Team Secret may have been the most nail-biting game in the tournament so far. With the “Final Boss” facing the biggest remaining underdog in the tournament, it was a battle for survival against unlikely opponents. With the banner of Europe and Pinoy Pride backing the two teams, it was a battle bigger than them. It was the battle between European pride and the Pride of the Philippines.
