Michal "Nisha" Jankowski has left Team Liquid after four years and is taking a break from professional Dota 2, Esports.gg reported. He departs the organisation where he won his first Aegis of Champions.
Nisha was already regarded by many as one of the best midlaners in Dota 2 well before he joined Team Liquid. He had turned professional in 2015 with sides including Let’s Do It, ALTERNATE aTTaX and Team Singularity, and built his reputation over a long stint with Team Secret, where he also played carry and proved as effective in the position 1 role.
He joined Team Liquid in 2022, replacing carry Lasse "MATUMBAMAN" Urpalainen. His ability to cover two roles let Michael "miCKe" Vu move back to carry, his more natural position, while Nisha took over the midlane.
Across his four years with the organisation he helped Team Liquid win The International 2024 along with multiple tier-one events. The team took first place at PGL Wallachia Seasons 3 and 4, BLAST SLAM 6 and 1win Essence II with Nisha in the midlane.
The numbers behind four years
In a post on X, Team Liquid published figures covering Nisha’s career and his record as the organisation’s position 2 player.
- 2,280 career games as a professional, at a 60.53% win rate
- 1,131 games for Team Liquid, at a 59.15% win rate
- A high of 29 kills in a match, against Beastcoast
- A high of 41 assists, against BoomBoys
- A high of 14 deaths, against Yakult Brothers
Nisha plays left-handed, holding his mouse in his left hand and using his right hand on the keyboard, a setup that is visible when he plays at offline tournaments.
Position 2 at BLAST SLAM 8
Yeik "MidOne" Nai Zheng, who played alongside Nisha at Team Secret, fills the position 2 role at BLAST SLAM 8. Team Liquid has not announced a permanent replacement, and the organisation has yet to formally complete its main roster for the 2026-2027 season.
