Timado se jun à OG para a DreamLeague Season 22

The Dota 2 competitive scene has received some major news: Peruvian player Enzo “Timado” Gianoli has been listed as OG’s new carry for DreamLeague Season 22, according to information released on the tournament’s official Liquipedia page. Although the club has not yet made a formal announcement, the platform update indicates that the South American is confirmed for the legendary European organization’s roster for the competition. The change comes at an important time for OG, which is looking to regain its form after a patchy start to the season. Timado will replace Artem “Yuragi” Golubev, who left the team on February 20th. Yuragi’s departure marked the end of a nearly two-year stint with the main team and paved the way for a new phase within the organization.

While Timado’s inclusion is already on the official DreamLeague Season 22 roster, there is still no information on whether he will remain with the team after the tournament. OG has not released an official statement confirming the contract or the duration of the deal, raising questions about whether this will be a temporary partnership or the beginning of a long-term project. For OG fans, Timado’s arrival is viewed with optimism, especially after the team has struggled to maintain consistency in the current meta. The Peruvian player is known for his aggressive playstyle and international experience, gained in elite tournaments such as The International and several seasons of the DPC (Dota Pro Circuit).

Timado’s trajectory and his expected impact on OG

Born in Lima, Peru, Timado is one of the most respected names in the South American Dota 2 scene. At just 23 years old, he has already built a solid career, standing out for his technical skill and ability to quickly adapt to different playstyles. His versatility as a carry makes him a valuable asset to any lineup. The peak of his career came with TSM, the North American team for which he represented the colors for almost two years. During that time, Timado helped the organization win the NA DPC 2022 Tour 1 title and achieve solid performances in international competitions, including The International 2022, where the team demonstrated great potential.

However, at the end of 2023, TSM disbanded its Dota 2 roster, abruptly ending one of the most successful periods of Timado’s career. Since then, the player has been evaluating offers and participating in scrims with different teams, waiting for the right opportunity to return to the highest competitive level. Now, with his arrival at OG, the player will have the chance to once again prove his worth in the European scene—one of the most competitive in the world. Timado is expected to bring a new dynamic to the team, especially in the laning and mid-game transition phases, areas where OG had been struggling.

Furthermore, his experience facing teams from different regions could be a significant asset for the organization, which is seeking to rediscover its identity after several roster changes. Sources close to the player say that Timado is “motivated and focused on making the most of this opportunity.” On social media, the Peruvian briefly commented on the moment:

“Happy to be back on a high-level team. I will give my all to help OG achieve great results again.” OG, one of the most iconic Dota 2 organizations, is currently undergoing a rebuilding process. After the legendary back-to-back titles at The International 2018 and 2019, achieved under the leadership of Johan “n0tail” Sundstein and Topias “Topson” Taavitsainen, the team underwent a roster overhaul. The search for stability has been one of the biggest challenges for the new generation.

OG’s new chapter and the future of the European team

In recent months, the team has had some good moments, but has yet to replicate the dominant performance that made it famous in previous years. Yuragi’s departure was part of a series of internal adjustments aimed at revamping the playstyle and finding new leadership within the server. With Timado’s arrival, OG seeks to balance youth and experience, banking on a player with strong team presence and high decision-making power. The Peruvian joins a lineup that includes talents such as bzm, ATF, Taiga, and DM, names that have already shown potential but still need consistency to compete with giants like Gaimin Gladiators, Team Spirit, and BetBoom Team.

The team’s coach, according to sources close to the organization, believes that Timado’s style fits well with OG’s philosophy. The player is expected to bring more stability in the early stages of the game and a more aggressive presence in decisive fights, something that was lacking in previous competitions. Furthermore, OG sees the signing as a strategic opportunity to expand its global presence. With a Latin American player on its roster, the team reinforces its international image and connects with a passionate and growing fan base in South America—a region that has been producing standout talent in recent years, such as Pakazs, Matthew, and DarkMago.
