TaiLung on Keeper of the Light: “I really enjoy playing him, but he’s not always the right pick.”
LGD Gaming mid laner Santiago Olivós “TaiLung” In an interview at the Esports World Cup 2026, Gustavo Agüero discussed the changes in his life after joining an esports team, talked about nerves during competitions, and assessed the strength of Keeper of the Light.
On the changes in his life after joining an esports team
To be honest, it wasn’t really a normal life to begin with, because I spent so much time playing Dota 2. I was in school, but I still played a lot. Now I’ve just started traveling, but I don’t think anything has changed, and that’s perfectly normal for me.
On nerves at tournaments
At my first BLAST, I was a little nervous, but now, with the experience I have and the tournaments I’ve played in, I think I take it more calmly, and it doesn’t affect me as much anymore.
On Keeper of the Light
I think he’s a situational hero. I really enjoy playing him, but he’s not always the right choice. I might pick him for this tournament, but it’ll all depend on the circumstances.
At the time of this publication, LGD Gaming is tied with OG for third place in Group D at the 2026 Esports World Cup for Dota 2. The South American team’s next match will take place today at 7:30 p.m. Moscow time against Team Yandex.
