Wits

Máximo "Wits" Orozco Alza (born March 6, 2008) is a Peruvian professional Dota 2 carry currently playing for PlayTime. Wits is the youngest member of the PlayTime roster and one of the most exciting carry prospects South America has produced in years—a fast, aggressive farmer who plays position 1 like he's personally offended by any game that goes past 35 minutes.

Early Career

Wits started competing in December 2022 with GO.Y (Go Young) in the DPC SA qualifiers. He was 14. For context—while most kids that age are figuring out high school, Wits was already grinding professional Dota 2 qualifiers in South America. He and TaiLung, who was playing under the nickname "osito" at the time, were already known in SA pub circles as the two young players whose MMR trajectories didn't make any logical sense. By 15, Wits had reached rank 40 on the Americas leaderboard. He and TaiLung had previously tried to qualify for the Dota Pro Circuit together and played LATAM Rookie Challenge 8 as a duo.

In 2024, he got his first LAN appearance with FUSION at Elite League Season 2. They took maps off Nouns Esports and Evil Rabbit—genuinely respectable results for a squad thrown together with minimal preparation. They finished last, but the individual performances were noted. He kept winning regional events after that—EPL World Series: America, Seasons 16 and 17—building the kind of quiet résumé that doesn't make headlines but tells you a player is consistently better than his competition.

The Breakthrough

September 2025 was the turning point. Wits qualified for his first tier-1 tournament with Chimpanzini Bananini—winning the SA qualifier 3-2, a genuinely competitive result against more experienced rosters. Then in December 2025 he joined Amaru Gaming, qualified for DreamLeague Season 27, and kept climbing.

The real story is what happened next. Parker left South American Rejects after the falling out with DarkMago that everyone heard about. The team needed a carry. They called Wits. He joined a group of players—DarkMago, Scofield, Frank, and Elmisho—who had been playing together for years, in some cases for over a decade. He was 17. He fit immediately. South America Rejects won the DreamLeague division. 2 Season 4, finished 5th at PGL Wallachia Season 8, and earned $60,000. PlayTime signed the whole stack shortly after. Their DreamLeague Season 29 debut ended in 5th place, the best finish a SA team had produced at that tier in years.

Playstyle and Reputation

Wits plays carry like someone who decided that farming efficiently and winning fights are the same activity. He doesn't sit in the jungle and wait for his power spike—he gets his core items at a pace that forces the enemy to respond, and then he responds to their response. Fast timings, aggressive item choices, and a hero pool built around snowballing rather than scaling—Juggernaut, Phantom Lancer, and heroes that can fight early and punish any hesitation. The word from the SA scene is consistent: this kid plays fast, he plays clean, and he makes everyone around him better because the enemy team can never relax.

Being compared to Tai Lung as the two standout young SA talents is meaningful. TaiLung is already at BLAST Slam VII under LGD. Wits is at DreamLeague Season 29 with PlayTime. Two teenagers from Peru, both competing at a tier-1 level.

Fun Facts

Wits was born in 2008. That means he was playing professional qualifiers in 2022 at 14, and his first DPC appearance came when half his teammates had been playing professional Dota longer than he had been in secondary school.

His full name is Hector Máximo Orozco Alza—the PlayTime announcement listed him as "Hector Maximo Orozco Alza - WITS," which most people didn't know until the signing was announced.

He replaced Parker on the South America Rejects roster. For context on the timing: Parker left after telling DarkMago to go f**k himself mid-game. Wits showed up, fit straight in, and the team went to a tier-1 LAN.
