LGD Gaming vs PlayTime - TI 2026 South America CQ

LGD enter this match on the back of two consecutive 2-0 wins in the qualifier, defeating Amaru Gaming and Lindorfitos in back-to-back days. Their 76% winrate over the last month is not a fluke. It reflects a team that has sharpened its map control and BO3 execution at exactly the right time.

PlayTime are no pushover. A 75% winrate last month and upset wins over Natus Vincere and BetBoom show real teeth. But their form wobbles under true pressure. Losses to Team Falcons and Tundra this month expose a ceiling that LGD has already punched through. PlayTime's $52,500 in six-month earnings versus LGD's $150,000 tells a clear story about experience at the highest level.

The form charts seal it. LGD's only recent blemish is a 1-3 loss to Team Yandex, sandwiched between dominant wins. PlayTime's schedule shows easier opposition in their two most recent matches. When these two meet, LGD's playoff pedigree and clean execution under pressure should be the deciding factor.

Thunderpick odds(at time of writing):

LGD Gaming to win 1.55

PlayTime to win 2.30
