The Guatemala national team defeated Costa Rica in the lower bracket final of the North American qualifier for the Esports Nations Cup 2026 in League of Legends. The match ended with a score of 2:1, allowing Guatemala to secure a spot at ENC 2026.

The Guatemala roster has drawn attention due to their top laner, Óscar Lobos, who competes under the nickname "Putin." It remains unclear whether the tournament organizers will allow the player to use this nickname or ask him to change it.

As a reminder, GOALS and PUMA recently launched a major collaboration.
