Papita on the TI15 qualifiers: “Based on the results of these qualifiers, either LGD or PlayTime—who’ve worked so hard all year—won’t make it.”
Former beastcoast coach Mariano “Papita” Caneda took to X to comment on the South American qualifiers for The International 2026.
Guys, let’s enjoy the process while it lasts. Based on the results of these qualifiers, either LGD or PlayTime—who’ve worked so hard all year—won’t make it. Imagine: losing your dream because of a tournament decision based on marketing :(
The closed South American qualifier for The International 2026 is taking place from June 15 to 19, with one spot in the main tournament allocated to the region. LGD Gaming and PlayTime are currently in the upper bracket; their next opponents are Lindorfitos and Estar Backs, respectively.
