PMS Asterisk* is the first all-female DotA team competing in the Defense of the Ancients and Dota 2 video games, founded in 2005 by Tammy “furryfish*” Tang. The team is based in Singapore, and leads the Asian division for PMS Clan USA, the world's largest multi-platform online female gaming group on Xbox, PC and PlayStation platforms.

PMS Asterisk* was co-founded in 2005 by Dawn "pinksheep*" Yang and Tammy "furryfish*" Tang. The team's first official event was at the World Cyber Games Grand Finals in Singapore in 2005, where the team claimed victory at the event's stage showcase match. Named by retired player Tan "flawed*" Lishan, "Asterisk*" symbolises the meeting of different personalities and minds, coming together to deliver a stellar performance.

Since its inauguration, the team has been featured on magazines, leading e-Sports portals and television.

The team makes a regular appearance at Thailand's annual games convention, Electronic Sports Thailand Championship, and actively participates in local and regional tournaments, conventions and forum panel discussions.

In March 2010, PMS Asterisk* added a new team to the PMS Asia roster. Formerly known as Mineski girls, led by Rea Lynne "Rheadoo" Aguinaldo, the team was renamed ""PMSki"" and will join the main team at regional events.

PMS Asterisk* is sponsored by SteelSeries and Alienware. The ladies are spokespeople for the Cyber Wellness campaign in Singapore, as a partner of Singapore's Cybersports & Online Gaming Association (SCOGA) and are campaigning for the recognition of e-Sports as an official sport in Singapore.

PMS Asterisk* was invited to appear on Steelseries' widely acclaimed reality gaming show, IronLady III which was held in Shanghai, China in 2010. The show was broadcast across China on NeoTV and to the world on NeoTV's website. The team was subsequently interviewed by the top gaming magazine in China and also made the front page of myMYM news.

Other key media appearances in 2010 include an interview by Singapore's leading newspaper Straits Times in an article titled "New Game Queens" featuring the girls at their homebase. Dawn "pinksheep" Yang was also interviewed on two occasions by The Straits Times on Razor TV where she shared what it takes to be a competitive gamer juggling work, life and gaming and in Straits Times bookends, where she shared her preferred reads.
