In a surprise move, one of the Philippines’ most beloved players Carlo "Kuku" Palad has just joined Omega Esports as their coach. This is the Filipino Dota 2 superstar’s first stint as a coach.

Perhaps the player will focus on his coaching career with Omega Esports while the future of the Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) becomes clearer. Or perhaps we will see Among Us v3 with other SEA stars. It is still up in the air.
