KJ, bottega and Astini have left PlayTime following a failed qualification attempt for DreamLeague Season 30

The new roster PlayTime played in only one qualifier for DreamLeague Season 30, finishing in 3rd place and missing out on the main stage of the major tournament.

A couple of days ago, Astini (ex-PlayTime coach) mentioned that the team was planning a bootcamp, but he decided it made no sense. Carry player bottega was playing for PlayTime on loan, while his contract remains with BetBoom Team.

This season, PlayTime also played at PGL Wallachia Season 9, attending with two stand-ins: Yuma «Yuma» Langlet as carry and João «4nalog» Giannini in the mid lane. The team suffered 3 group stage losses there: against Conventus Stellarum (1:2), Team Cobra (1:2), and Yakult's Brothers (0:2), ultimately finishing in 15th–16th place.

So far, the PlayTime organization has struggled to put together a solid Dota 2 roster. Last year, the club was involved in a scandal at the Esports World Cup 2025. Midlaner Herrera «DarkMago» Gonzalo and coach Gustavo «Vintage» Angulo were suspected of match-fixing. Their guilt was proven, and they disappeared from the competitive scene after receiving a ban from ESIC.

Current PlayTime roster:

  • Abed Azel «Abed» Yusop
  • Igor «fcr» Aguiar
  • Guillermo «Elmisho» Morales
