Misha commented on PlayTime’s removal from the 2026 Esports World Cup due to allegations of match-fixing
Former OG coach Mikhail “Misha” Agatov commented on his personal YouTube channel about PlayTime’s removal from the 2026 Esports World Cup Dota 2 tournament due to allegations of match-fixing.
Due to suspicions related to “322,” the PlayTime team was removed directly from the EWC playoffs. DarkMago, the midlaner, and Vintage, the coach, are suspected of throwing matches. Bets of $20,000–$60,000–$90,000 were placed on each match. <...> The team won’t be disqualified unless there’s strong evidence. So I’m inclined to believe that “322” really did happen. Actually, when I played for OG, Taiga did the same thing. It’s just the worst feeling for your teammates. I feel bad for them, honestly. Really bad. It’s an awkward situation.
Earlier, former PlayTime offlaner Frank “Frank” Arias stated that his departure from the team was not related to the investigation into match-fixing allegations, and also announced that he would continue to seek new opportunities to advance his career.
