After sweeping the AMD Summer League, Yangon Galacticos aim for majors
by Zena V. Magto
Myanmar-based team Yangon Galacticos certainly proved to be a team with perseverance, with their strategic and objective gameplay that all teams in the league never had a chance against.
The team basically wiped out all of their opponents, achieving a perfect win in the first AMD Summer League which closed on June 14, 2020. All of their matchup was one-sided, and all about snowballing teams.
The Yangon Galacticos was established in 2019, and have teams competing in Dota, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG).
Zaw Rain “ZawRain” Sai Aung, the team’s offlaner, told South.gg that their team is now considered as “one of the best team in Myanmar now,” though acknowledging that they’re still far from Myanmar’s veteran Dota rosters.
Their key to winning? “Trust and focusing on draft is key for our winning matches,” says ZawRain.
With their great performance, we certainly hope to see more of their action in the DPC scene soon!
Full roster
- Position 1 – Min Khant Mg Mg “Young Ph”
- Position 2 – Htin Lin “Devil”
- Position 3 – Zaw Rain Sai Aung “ZawRain”
- Position 4 – Thi Ha Kyaw Swar “Skillay”
- Position 5 – Yan Min Naing “Lun”
After the league, the team hopes to qualify in a major or minor soon. However, with the pandemic still lurking, this journey might have to be put on hold.
For now, the ZawRain shares that they will do their best to “Get a strong formation” and “better team chemistry.”
Yangon Galacticos won ₱25,000 grand prize from the prize pool, while the runner ups, Extremist and Ground Zero take home ₱10,000 and ₱5,000 respectively.
The AMD Summer League is an event partnered with AMD Philippines and is made possible by ACX Outsourcing Hub, Mad Catz, 2ez.bet, Foresight.ph, OGcredits, Cobra Energy Drink and South.gg.
