Early Career

Timado began competing in Dota 2 in 2016, continuing through local South American squads before rising to prominence with Infamous.

Introduced to the game at a young age (often attributed to early influence from family), he rapidly climbed ranked MMR and skill levels, breaking into the professional circuit while still in his mid-teens—a rare milestone for players from his region.

At 16, he qualified for The International with Infamous, becoming one of the youngest players on the world stage at that time.

Rise Through the Pro Scene

Across his career Timado has worn many jerseys, playing for teams across different regions and competitive environments. He’s been part of veteran rosters such as VGJ.Storm, played for TSM, and stood out in both South American and European leagues—most notably as a carry for OG during 2024’s competitive season.

With OG, he helped the team secure a 4th-place finish at ESL One Birmingham 2024—a solid LAN result against strong competition.

He later played for Shopify Rebellion (SR) and MOUZ, consistently demonstrating his role as a dependable carry core before signing with Virtus.pro in late 2025/early 2026.
