Overview

Timothy “TIMS” John Randrup is a veteran Filipino professional Dota 2 support player currently signed to OG. Known for his high game IQ, leadership, and versatile support play, TIMS has been a staple of the Southeast Asian scene since his breakout in 2016. He continues to compete in major events, including DreamLeague, BLAST Slam, and PGL tournaments in 2026.

Early Career

TIMS began his career in 2016 with Execration, quickly moving to Rave and then joining TNC Predator later that year, where he spent about five years as a core support and often leadership figure.

TNC Predator and Prime Era

During his time with TNC Predator (2016–2021), TIMS achieved some of his most notable successes, including victories at the MDL Chengdu Major 2019 and ESL One Hamburg 2019. His performance in these tournaments helped elevate him into global prominence.

He also helped TNC secure a World Electronic Sports Games title (2016), one of the biggest non‑Valve events in Dota history.

Transition & Later Teams (2021–2025)

After TNC, TIMS signed with BOOM Esports in 2021, contributing to wins like the GAMERS GALAXY Invitational Series Dubai 2022 and numerous competitive runs.

He also played for Blacklist International (BLCK) before returning to BOOM in late 2024.

OG Era (2025–Present)

In November 2025, TIMS joined OG as part of their new SEA‑based roster, alongside players like Natsumi, Yopaj, Nikko, and skem. This move placed him in a leadership position on a stacked Filipino squad competing in international LANs through 2026.

He has featured in events like BLAST Slam VI 2026 and DreamLeague Season 28 with OG.

Playstyle and Reputation

TIMS is known for a strategic, high‑impact support playstyle—often serving as the backbone in teamfight setups and vision control.

Key strengths include:

– Exceptional hero mastery on Rubick, Earthshaker, and Tusk

– Strong teamfight initiation and defensive plays

– High game awareness and positional discipline

– Leadership and shotcalling support in mid‑game phases

Analysts often describe him as a “cerebral support” — someone who influences the game through decisions and map control rather than pure mechanical flair.
