mini after x5 Gaming’s elimination from the South American qualifiers for The International 2026: “Dota is shit.”

x5 Gaming midlaner Pedro Luis “mini” Resende de Paula shared his thoughts on his personal page on social media platform X after being eliminated from the South American closed qualifiers for The International 2026.
Dota is crap.
You want to make it to the closed qualifiers, but at the same time, playing them under these conditions—which are just some weird mix—is pure torture.
But, thankfully, it’s all over. Thanks to everyone who followed us
The team finished in 9th–10th place at the South American closed qualifiers for The International 2026, losing to the Peruvian team Lindorfitos in the upper bracket and to Hokori in the lower bracket. Previously, Pedro Luis “mini” Resende de Paula served as a coach for x5 Gaming.
