Overview

Yeik “MidOne” Nai Zheng is a Malaysian professional Dota 2 midlaner currently playing for MOUZ. Once considered one of the strongest mid players in the world during his peak with Team Secret, MidOne has experienced a full career cycle—from elite dominance to a temporary retirement, and now a resurgence in the 2025–2026 competitive scene.

As of 2026, he is part of MOUZ’s rebuilt roster, competing in top-tier tournaments like DreamLeague Season 28 and ESL One Birmingham.

Early Career

MidOne began his rise in Southeast Asia before quickly gaining international recognition after joining Team Secret in 2016. During his time there, he became known for his aggressive and mechanically sharp midlane play, helping the team secure multiple Major titles.

He was widely regarded as one of the most explosive mid players of his era, consistently outperforming opponents in lane and teamfights.

Post-Secret Struggles

After leaving Team Secret in 2019, MidOne’s career became inconsistent. His time with OG in 2020 and Team SMG (2021–2023) produced mixed results, with fewer deep tournament runs and a decline in visibility at the tier-1 level.

This period marked a transition phase where he struggled to find a stable roster and consistent form.

Break & Comeback (2024–2025)

MidOne briefly stepped away from competitive Dota and even considered retiring completely. However, stand-in appearances with Tundra Esports—where he achieved strong results, including top finishes—rekindled his motivation.

He returned to serious competition in 2025, eventually joining MOUZ as part of a new European project.

In late 2025, MOUZ achieved a major breakthrough by winning PGL Wallachia Season 6, marking MidOne’s first major title in years and signaling his return to form.

MOUZ Era (2026 – Present)

In 2026, MidOne is the midlaner of a revamped MOUZ roster featuring players like Crystallis and Seleri.

The team has been actively competing in top events, including:

– DreamLeague Season 28

– ESL One Birmingham 2026

– PGL Wallachia Season 7

This period is widely seen as a career resurgence, with MidOne once again playing at a high level against top-tier competition.

Playstyle and Reputation

MidOne is known for an aggressive, high-risk midlane style that prioritizes tempo and impact over personal safety.

Key strengths include:

– Highly aggressive laning and early rotations

– Strong mechanical skill and hero versatility

– Willingness to sacrifice for team advantage

– High tempo control and map pressure

Players like Ceb have described him as a selfless yet aggressive player who prioritizes team success over individual survival.
