Scofield commented on PlayTime’s disqualification from the 2026 Esports World Cup

Hello, everyone.

I never thought I’d have to write a post like this. Everything that’s happened over the past few days has caught me off guard. I’ve seen a lot of rumors and discussions on social media, and I want to clarify one thing right away: I did not participate in any illegal activities and have no connection to the matters currently under investigation.

I fully respect the decisions made by ESIC and the tournament organizers. I’ve always believed that fair play and sportsmanship are paramount. I’ve loved Dota 2 with all my heart from day one. Out of respect for the investigation, I prefer to speak only for myself—it’s not my style to comment on other people’s actions or speculate about things I know nothing about.

For years, I’ve devoted myself entirely to this dream. Dota 2 has changed my life, and those who have followed my career from the very beginning know perfectly well how much it means to me. That is exactly why it is so painful and frustrating that this situation has ultimately affected me as well, since I have always tried to do the right thing and act with integrity.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support me, as well as to those who have decided to wait for the facts before jumping to conclusions. This really means a lot to me. I believe everything will become clear soon, and in the meantime, I’ll do what I do best—play and give it my all.
