Scofield

Elvis "Scofield" De la Cruz Peña (born April 29, 1998) is a Peruvian professional Dota 2 position 4 support currently playing for PlayTime. Scofield is the most individually skilled semi-support South America has ever produced—the first SA player to hit 10,000, 13,000, and 14,000 MMR; a five-time TI participant; and the kind of position 4 who makes the enemy team's entire laning stage a nightmare from minute one.

People compare him to XinQ. That's not an accident. Both play the same way — not like supports, but like predators who happen to be in the support slot.

Early Career

Scofield started competing in 2015, bouncing through a long list of Peruvian stacks that went nowhere—Not Today, Artyk Gaming, and Infamous. Black, Union Gaming, Mad Kings, Infamous. Young. Two years of grinding without landing anywhere meaningful. The first real moment came when Infamous picked him up in September 2017. He had the MMR and the reputation in SA pubs, but not the results yet. That changed fast. With Infamous, he made it to The International 2019, where the team finished 7th-8th and earned over $858,000. It was his first TI and SA's best result at the time.

The Beastcoast Era

After Infamous, Scofield joined Beastcoast in October 2019 and stayed for four years—the longest and most productive chapter of his career. Three more TI appearances. DPC regional titles. Consistent qualification for international events when most SA teams couldn't even make it past qualifiers. The TI 2022 run was the highlight—7th-8th place, $473,000 in earnings, showing that SA could hang on the international stage year after year.

In April 2020, while the world was shut down and everyone was stuck grinding ranked, Scofield became the first South American player to hit 10,000 MMR. In April 2024 he became the first to hit 13,000. In August 2024, the first to hit 14,000. Every single one of those milestones was a first for the entire continent. He's been ahead of everyone in SA individually for years.

Heroic and Beyond

In January 2024, Scofield joined the newly formed Heroic alongside K1, KJ, 4nalog, and Davai Lama. The team won PGL Wallachia Season 2, the first major international LAN title for a South American team. They qualified for TI 2025 and finished 5th-6th, the best TI result in LATAM history. Scofield was there for all of it.

He left Heroic in December 2025; joined Peru Rejects, which became paiN Gaming; went through the whole org-disbanding cycle; and ended up at PlayTime with the South America Rejects core—DarkMago, Frank, Wits, and elmisho. The same group that beat Heroic in qualifiers, won DreamLeague Division 2, and finished 5th at PGL Wallachia Season 8. PlayTime signed them shortly after, and the 3rd-place finish at 1win Essence followed in May 2026.

Playstyle and Reputation

Scofield is position 4 in name only. In practice he plays like a mid who somehow ended up in the support slot and decided to make it everyone else's problem. He looks for kills constantly, rotates before most semi-supports have finished their first ward, and creates chaos across the entire map from the laning stage onwards. The comparison to XinQ is apt—both are players who turned a traditionally supportive role into something that demands bans and specific draft answers.

His hero pool says everything: Clockwerk, Tusk, Nyx Assassin, Earthshaker. Catch heroes. Kill heroes. Heroes that punish a single mistake with a death. He holds the all-time record for professional matches played on Clockwerk, with 161 matches and 100 wins. That's not a coincidence — it's a personality.

Fun Facts

Scofield's career high for assists in a single game is 36—achieved on Tusk for Beastcoast against Hokori in the 2021 SA Upper Division. On support. In a single game. That stat alone describes his playstyle better than any paragraph could.

He was formerly known as "Gōjira"—the Japanese name for Godzilla. Given how he plays, the rebrand to Scofield was probably the more understated choice.

Over $831,000 in career prize money. First SA player to 10K, 13K, and 14K MMR. Five TI appearances. Still going, still making noise, still the most dangerous position for the region that has ever been seen.
