My departure from PlayTime has nothing to do with the investigation. I am not involved in the events that are currently under investigation. I believe this investigation will shed light on the whole situation. I am grateful to PlayTime for the opportunity to represent the tag. I wish the organization and former teammates all the best. I will continue to get better every day and look for new opportunities for myself. Now my goal is to try my hand outside of South America. I want to develop and compete at the highest level. Thanks to all the people who supported me. This whole situation did not affect my desire to continue working towards achieving my goals. I think it was important to write this so that there would be no speculation that could harm my career.

On July 16, PlayTime expelled Juan David Vintage Angulo Nicho, Gonzalo DarkMago Herrera and Frank after the scandal with the 322 attempt at EWC 2026. Now the club will assemble a new roster.
