Team Secret has announced the departure of its mid-laner, Michał "Nisha" Jankowski, after a three year stint with the Polish midlaner. Nisha joined Team Secret after the conclusion of The International 2018, and has won multiple Dota 2 Pro Circuit Majors and achieved a Top 2 and Top 3 finish at The Internationals with the European team.
Team Secret started the year slow, as it consistently placed 5th in all three tours in Division I of the regional Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) league. However, despite all odds the team managed to achieve 2nd place at The International 2022 (TI11) having fought from the Last Chance Qualifiers. However, despite its second place finish at TI11 Team Secret will be looking for a new mid-laner for the upcoming season.
Nisha part ways with Team Secret after 3 memorable years
After announcing that the rest of its TI11 roster will be staying together for the upcoming season, Team Secret announced earlier today that Michał "Nisha" Jankowski will be leaving the team after 3 years of service.
In its latest blog post on its website, Team Secret thanked Nisha for his contributions during his time with the organization. Additionally, team captain Clement "Puppey" Ivanov also had a personal message for the departing 22 year old as he wished him the best of luck going forward.
Following the announcement: Team Secret’s current roster is as follows:-
Remco "Crystallis" Arets
T.B.A
Roman "Resolut1on" Fomynok
Baqyt "Zayac" Emiljanov
Clement "Puppey" Ivanov
Coach: Lee "Heen" Seung Gon
Nisha joined the team in late 2018, as he was scouted by Puppey after The International 2018 to replace the departing Marcus "Ace" Christensen in the carry position. However, as time went on he became a flexible player within the team as he would shift roles between carry and the midlane.
Additionally, under Puppey’s guidance Nisha became one of the best players in the world as he won multiple LAN tournaments during his time with the team, including 2 Major championships at Chongqing & Paris. Furthermore, he was a crucial team player within the organization’s run at the latest edition of The International as it achieved 2nd place.
As of now, Team Secret will be looking to replace its illustrious mid-laner for the upcoming season however the newest recruit to the team would have big shoes to fill in place of Nisha.
