HOMEGROWN teams RSG PH, Smart Omega and Bren Esports are taking their esports prowess to another game title, Hyper Front, a competitive mobile shooter that only made its debut last July 20.
It was a hot start for these three teams as they made a splash in the Hyper Front Elite Cup – SEA division.
The three teams dominated, handing out 2-0 series sweeps to their opponents: Dunia Games Esports (Indonesia), HomeBois (Malaysia), and VOIN SBO Esports (Indonesia), respectively.
The tournament, which has a total prize pool of $50,000 (around P2.8 million) is Hyper Front’s first ever major since the game released globally last July 20. RSG, Smart Omega and BREN were among the 12 invited teams to compete in the SEA division.

Over at Group D, Smart Omega absolutely decimated Malaysian squad HomeBois, defeating them 8-0, twice, in Desert Tower and City of Citizens. The squad in green and white didn’t lose a single round over the course of the match, displaying the disparity in gun skills between the two teams.
Behind Smart Omega’s brilliant performance were captain JC “Jayzee” Rivera and Kevin “Kevs” Baguio, who notably did a sideways shift from Smart Omega’s CODM team to Smart Omega’s Hyper Front team. The two were at the forefront of Smart Omega’s barrage, with a total of 46 kills in two games.
