“Smart’s support for esports is part of our mission to help build character and opportunity through sports and technology,” said Jude H.

The team is coached by Hans “Wurahhhh” Solano, with Lemuel “Coach Lembot” Lucban and Allec “SN4P” Alvarado on staff.

Team captain Hadji said they’re ready to prove themselves again. “We’re still here, still hungry, and ready to fight for greatness,” he said.
