History

PlayTime is an esports organization founded in the Philippines in 2026. Despite the club's Asian origins, its first Dota 2 roster was assembled in South America.

The inaugural lineup featured well-known Filipino players who had previously competed together without an organization: Kim Gabbi Villafuerte, Armel Armel Paul Tabios, Julius JG Galeon, Djardel DJ Mampusti, and Carlo Kuku Palad.

During its first months, the team competed in South American qualifiers, attempting to secure spots at major tournaments.

However, in March the organization made three roster changes at once. Jeanpierre PiPi Valente Arroyo, Mark Raven Fausto, and Eljohn Akashi Canonigo Andales replaced Gabbi, Armel and JG.

The revamped lineup continued competing in qualifiers, but once again failed to advance beyond the closed qualifiers.

In May, the organization decided to release the entire roster and sign a Peruvian stack that had previously played for paiN Gaming.

The new lineup consisted of Máximo Wits Orozco, Gonzalo DarkMago Herrera, Frank Frank Ayala, Elvis Scofield De la Cruz Peña, and Yeltsin Elmisho Hurtado.

The team's coach, and later sporting director, became the well-known Peruvian coach Juan David Vintage Angulo Nicho, who had previously worked with beastcoast, OG.LATAM, Evil Geniuses and several other South American teams.

The new roster's first achievement was a third-place finish at the online tournament 1W ESSENCE I. The team then competed at DreamLeague Season 29, where it finished in the top six and earned a direct invitation to Esports World Cup 2026.

However, at the tournament itself, the organization became embroiled in a scandal involving alleged match-fixing. Before the opening series of the second stage, reports emerged that one of the team's players could be involved in competitive integrity violations.

The Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC) later launched an investigation and temporarily suspended mid laner DarkMago and coach Vintage pending the outcome of the investigation.

As a result, PlayTime received a default loss and was eliminated from the tournament.
