OG Unveils All-Filipino Dota 2 Roster with Melbet Sponsorship

OG Esports has teamed up with Melbet in a significant global partnership, coinciding with the organization’s entry into Southeast Asia with a new all-Filipino Dota 2 roster. OG is touting this collaboration as one of the most substantial cross-regional partnerships in recent times.

While the financial specifics of the agreement with Melbet remain under wraps, the partnership will see Melbet stepping in as a major supporter of OG’s competitive goals and content initiatives throughout the year. This includes joint efforts on branded content, live events, community-driven activities, and a detailed storytelling approach that showcases OG’s competitive journey in Southeast Asia. Additionally, Melbet will assist the team with training, logistics, and fan engagement. OG’s Dota 2 squad will also promote the Melbet brand through various content channels and social media, with the logo prominently displayed on player jerseys during competitions.

OG emphasized that the timing of this partnership is part of a larger strategy to regain global competitive momentum while investing in regions that are shaping the future of esports viewership.

“Partnering with Melbet is a powerful step in our long-term commitment to the SEA region,” stated OG Esports CEO Xavier Oswald. “Together, we’re not just showing up on stage; we’re dedicated to nurturing and supporting Southeast Asian talents, both in-game and behind the scenes. SEA is one of the beating hearts of esports, and with Melbet by our side, we aim to provide local players, creators, and fans the platform they truly deserve.”

Melbet, based in Nicosia, Cyprus, is a well-known online betting and casino platform that operates under a Curaçao gaming license. While its services are not available in the United States, they can be accessed in various other regions, including the Philippines.
