I think he always put his heart and soul into seeing me thrive and do well. I know he's always watching me and finding ways to make me a better player or a happier person in whatever aspect of my life.

He's always looking after me even if we're not close together. I just have it program in my brain and I think he did a good job in teaching me the best things he learned about life. Give your best, don't give up, go beyond your limit, and go more. He's taught me most of the foundations that I have about approaching competitive stuff and sports. Timado: I would say he's always been my main support in life and in games. Has your father's support helped you have a successful career in this game? Talking about your father specifically, he was a former youth player for Alianza Lima (Peruvian club football team) and worked in teaching kids science through fun programs. Support from his familyīLIX: There's a video piece where you talked to Sheever (Jorien van der Heijden) about the state of the region in Dota and how you guys visited many LAN cafes, and you talked a bit about how your parents supported you in pursuing a career in this game. If you want to eat the best, things are going to come to you, and if you're playing the best thing, good things are gonna happen to you. I learned with time that you have to do things for yourself. It was just understandable and very reasonable. He was just better, and the team made the right move. Then I had times where-I think VGJ was a really hard lesson for me because I got replaced by Resolut1on who was a much better player at the time than me on the mid-lane/carry role and I realized if you don't actively devote your heart to being the best ever, then you run the risk of being replaced by someone else and there is nothing you can complain to anyone. I felt I didn't really deserve it I wasn't good enough and then I played some matches and I felt I was good enough and then I lost and then I again felt wasn't good enough. When I first went to TI, I felt like I was not good enough. Timado: Yeah, I felt my my share of imposter syndrome different times. That's always been my mindset with this whole going back and forth with different regions.īLIX: Was there any particular moment in time in which you felt you were not good enough? Whenever I spent a period outside, my mind is like, "these people have a lot to teach me so I'm just gonna absorb everything." And then when it's my time to return again, I'm gonna have so much to teach them. And whenever I learn something, I always come with lots of excitement to South America. Naturally, I've always taken the risky options of leaving the region and playing with players I don't know much of and having the risk of maybe getting kicked easily or stuff like that. I get an offer and they want to play with me and I'm like, "I'm either good enough or I'm not good enough so I'm gonna be good enough" and I just go over it and there is no time to think about anything else. I think I work the best when I have a challenge, and I just have to accept it. How have you stayed focused and continue to improve during those early years in your career?Įnzo "Timado" Gianoli: Yeah, it's been like a ping pong thing in going back and forth between regions.

I can only assume it must have been hard for you to undergo all these constant changes in your career. Pedro Romero, BLIX.GG: Looking at your career, you've been part of numerous teams from 2016 to 2020, going back and forth between NA and SA.

In the second part of BLIX.GG’s interview with TSM’s Position 1 player Enzo "Timado" Gianoli, he reflects on his career, the support he received from his family, why Dota 2 is so popular in his native Peru, the comparison between North America and South America in pro Dota today, and the significance of playing in the Lima Major.
