The success of previous years’ Dew Challenge has unlocked huge opportunities for winners such as Yeik Nai Zheng, also known as MidOne. He became the second-best player in Europe and is currently a member of Team Secret, an e-sports team based in Europe. Similarly, last year’s winner Chong Jia Hao, also known as VT Faded, made it big in the e-sports scene after the tournament. He is now part of a China based team called Nga Gaming. These outcomes from the Dew Challenge are an enormous achievement for not only Mountain Dew, but also the nation as it allows more Malaysians to be recognised internationally. For this reason, the brand aims to continuously provide a platform for gaming enthusiasts to fuel their passion.
