After last year’s Dew Challenge, Mountain Dew is back with the Largest Amateur DOTA 2 Tournament with a prize pool of RM150 000. For non-DOTA 2 kaki, Mountain Dew has not forgotten to ensure that everyone gets to join in the fun, with a new mobile gaming challenge in augment reality, with a big prize pool of RM50 000.

A good example of one gamer who really believed in the mantra of “DO THE DEW” is MidOne, a member of team Fnatic and competed at The International 2016. He was the winner of Dew Challenge 2015, which was the starting point before he was inducted into Fnatic, and won fourth place at The International 2016.
