Tio Inka on esports in Peru: “I believe that while Dota isn’t the biggest scene today, it’s the most established and reliable.”

For many, the surprise with this Bolivian team was that a player like Yamsun ended up in the fifth position. Yamsun is a carry, but he plays in the “five” position. Mingatte is also a carry, but he’ll be a support.

I have my own theory. I believe that while Dota isn’t the biggest game today, it’s the most established and reliable. <...> The tournaments are all the same—I’m saying this as a spectator. For example, back in 2015, I was dying to go to events just to see or meet players from teams like Not Today. Then I’d go to another event—and again, I’d watch them play, and so on and so forth.

Let this be on the record: I think the Ecuador national team could pull off an unexpected upset and snag one of the slots.

Everyone loves Papita and all that, but I think Worlock is much more immersed in the Argentine competitive scene right now. Papita has a very good understanding of the game as a whole and has a wealth of coaching experience, but Worlock is more immersed in local tournaments. Although I’m not a huge fan, Worlock has always been present at the tournaments I’ve watched. He’s constantly watching something, either participating, commentating, or analyzing.
