Thiolicor

Thiago "Thiolicor" de Oliveira Cordeiro (born August 10, 1999) is a Brazilian professional Dota 2 hard support currently playing for LGD Gaming. At 26 years old, Thiolicor is one of the most experienced position 5 players South America has produced.

Career

Thiolicor started in January 2016 with paiN Gaming at 16 years old, lasted four months, and moved on to G3nerationX, which was quickly signed by Midas Club. The Midas Club years were his first taste of real success—multiple tournament wins and TI 2017 qualifier runs. Then SG e-sports, NoPing, Havan Liberty, Hokori—the full tour of Brazilian and South American Dota.

The international breakthrough came with Shopify Rebellion in NA, where he got his first extended exposure to tier-1 competition outside SA. Then Heroic in January 2026, reuniting with KJ and the ex-Heroic core just as they were rebuilding after the original roster dissolved. That stint included AVULUS briefly in late 2025 as a stand-in before committing fully to the new project.

When Heroic disbanded in May 2026 and LGD Gaming signed the entire roster within days, Thiolicor became part of the first fully South American team in LGD's history. They reached the grand final of BLAST Slam VII in Copenhagen, losing to Team Yandex 3-1 but finishing 2nd in their debut tournament under the banner.

Playstyle and Reputation

Rubick, Bounty Hunter, Spirit Breaker — that hero pool tells you everything. He's an active, roaming hard support who looks for picks and plays rather than sitting back and warding. In a lineup built around Wisper's aggressive offlane and TaiLung's tempo mid, Thiolicor's job is to create chaos in the early game and make the enemy support's life miserable. Ten years of SA Dota teaches you how to do a lot with very little, and it shows.

Fun Facts

Thiolicor has been playing professional Dota since 2016. He is 26 years old. That's a decade of professional play without a single TI appearance—not because of a lack of quality, but because of the structural disadvantages of coming from South America. The BLAST Slam VII grand final is the biggest stage he's ever performed on. It came in year ten.
