Nisha on the victory over XG at the 2026 Esports World Cup in Dota 2: “We just tweaked our strategy a little.”

Team Liquid midlaner Michał Jankowski commented on the victory over Xtreme Gaming in the first round of the survival stage during an interview at the 2026 Dota 2 Esports World Cup.
The first game was probably fun. I hardly remember anything about it—all I can think of is how I messed up at the start—but the second one… That was a terrible map. In the third game, I think we just tweaked our strategy a bit. I feel like it became a bit easier to play. I had support behind me, and we scaled better into the late game. So I just watched and waited for the game to end. I didn’t do anything—Tiny and Timber carried us.
Team Liquid defeated Xtreme Gaming 2-1 in the first round of the survival stage of the 2026 Esports World Cup in Dota 2. The team’s next match in this tournament will take place tomorrow at 5:30 p.m. Moscow time against Team Spirit.
