Team Nemesis coach Filipe “Astini” Astini Ribeiro congratulated LGD Gaming on his personal X page for qualifying for The International 2026 and reminded everyone that the Esports World Cup 2026 is about to begin.
Congratulations to LGD on their well-deserved qualification for The International. Now, LGD Gaming represents South America on the world stage. May they have the support of everyone in the community. The best way to prove that South America deserves more slots is to keep getting better and better.
However, in three weeks, we’ll have the 2026 Esports World Cup, featuring PlayTime, LGD, and Nemesis. Based on what the teams showed in the qualifiers, the region already has everything it needs for an excellent performance there!
Earlier, Raulino “oldR” Alves explained why LGD Gaming proved stronger than PlayTime in the South American qualifiers for TI 2026: “They were better prepared for the best-of-five series and were able to neutralize PlayTime’s strongest asset—their speed in the early game.”
