PlayTime suffered a technical loss in their match against Vici Gaming at the 2026 Esports World Cup in Dota 2

The official Esports World Cup 2026 website reported that the match between PlayTime and Vici Gaming—which had been postponed due to the ESIC investigation—ended in a victory for Vici Gaming.

At this time, no official statements have been released by the teams themselves, the EWC, or the ESIC clarifying the reasons for PlayTime’s technical loss.

Earlier, former esports coach Timur “Ahilles” Kulmukhambetov commented on the temporary suspension of Oswaldo Gonzalo “DarkMago” Errera Martínez and Juan David “Vintage” Angulo Nicho from participating in tournaments: “They got off easy. Most likely, DarkMago did what Solo did back in the day. He took all the blame.”
