Despite that, however, his journey with Team Secret has run its course.<\/p>\n<p>MidOne played a pivotal role in Team Secret&#8217;s success last season when they topped the Dota Pro Circuit standings with a record-breaking 14400 points, which they earned with two Major titles (Chongqing and Paris), one runner-up finish at Kuala Lumpur Major and a fourth-place finish in Stockholm.<\/p>\n<p>Last season also saw Team Secret finish fourth at <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/dota-2\/the-international\/\">The International<\/a>, which was the best placement in the organization&#8217;s history, having previously finished fifth-sixth in 2018, ninth-12th in 2017, 13th-16th in 2016 and seventh-eighth in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>While MidOne&#8217;s departure will be a hard pill to swallow for many fans, his career as a professional <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/dota-2\/\">Dota 2<\/a> players is far from over. The Malaysian pro recently teamed up with former Mineski captain Michael &#8220;ninjaboogie&#8221; Ross to form a new stack which goes by the name SEAMonkeys. <\/p>\n<p>Joining the MidOne-ninjaboogie duo are three Malaysian Dota 2 players Nicholas &#8220;Zeal&#8221; Lim, Lee &#8220;Chidori&#8221; Jia He and Ooi &#8220;KennyO&#8221; Yew Kah, who has no previous experience in the professional Dota 2 scene.<\/p>\n<p>SEAMonkeys already played at DreamLeague Season 13 SEA Open Qualifier, where they made it to the final eight but fell flat against a joint venture of Hashtag E-sports and Alpha Pro &#8211; Alpha x Hashtag team, which disbanded less than a month later.<\/p>\n<p>Team Secret on the other hand made it through the European qualifiers and with that earned themselves a spot in the DreamLeague Leipzig Major, set to kick off on January 18, 2020.<\/p>\n<p><strong><center>More <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/news\/\">esports news<\/a><\/strong><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yeik &#8220;MidOne&#8221;
