MANILA - Philippine-based esports organization Tier One Entertainment has locked in a Dota 2 Pro Circuit (DPC) slot, putting them a step closer to building a Dota 2 team for Blacklist International. The organization&#x27;s CEO Tryke Gutierrez, a former Dota 2 shoutcaster, made the announcement Thursday afternoon. Tier One, which has teams for Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, PlayersUnknown Battlegrounds, among others, acquired the slot from Singaporean organization RSG. Now, they will need to sign players. &quot;This is so unreal but like what I said before, if your dreams don&#x27;t scare you, they aren&#x27;t big enough. Our journey back to the first game I fell in love with starts today,&quot; Gutierrez said on his Facebook account. &quot;I would like to thank my friend Jayf Soh of RSG for being such a professional through out this whole deal process. We will continue what you started,&quot; he added. This comes as the Dota 2 scene was rocked with roster shuffles after The International, notably the exit of Southeast Asian Games gold medalist-laden Polaris Esports, and T1, which saw powerhouse Carlo&quot;Kuku&quot; Palad exit from the squad. Pinoy Dota 2 carry Marc “Raven” Fausto also parted ways with Fnatic earlier this month. Gutierrez previously floated the idea of having a &quot;Philippine redeem team&quot; for Dota 2, after Pinoy stars tried their luck with internationally-affiliated squads.
