Dikson on the MLBB Mid Season Cup 2026: “If you think I’m not upset, you’re very much mistaken.”

Victory Song Gamers mid laner Oleg “Dikson” Pakhomov commented on the team’s performance at the MLBB Mid Season Cup 2026 on his personal Telegram channel, spoke about his current state of mind, and identified the mistakes that, in the esports player’s opinion, led to the losses.

On Victory Song Gamers’ 24th–25th-place finish at the MSC 2026

So, well, friends, let’s wrap things up today. The last day of our tournament has come to an end. Unfortunately, we *** [lost] all our games. What can I say? I certainly didn’t expect this result. We had good games and good practices. But, you see, something went wrong during the tournament. The drafts were completely baffling. Some people are saying that Oleg is the boss, so he could have influenced things. I’ve already explained that I can’t influence it, because that would cause those in charge of the draft to tilt. And that’s why no one usually gets involved in the drafter’s decisions. Because then, what’s the point of having a drafter if he doesn’t actually draft? That’s just how it is.

As for the result... Today we were hoping—well, I was hoping—that we’d at least win something today. Take the game. But, as you can see, once the Turks lost, the guys had no chance left. Everyone was upset.

Was I disappointed after a tournament season like this? Well, let’s start with the fact that this is the world stage—it’s already awesome just to make it here, to get such a cool experience as a player, and so on. But, you see, the approach to training… Well, the practices themselves were very good, intense. I’ll tell you later how it all went down. Of course, not everything went smoothly. But if you’re interested, I’ll tell you all about it later—maybe I’ll release a separate video. I’ll tell you, but it was very difficult for me.

On Dikson’s condition

If you think I wasn’t upset, you’re very much mistaken. Because I think no one put as much effort into all of this as I did. I put in money, effort, my health, and so on. So I don’t think we should be hating here; on the contrary, we should be supportive and give people at least some motivation to keep moving forward and so on. Because all you do is bring people down, you stinking haters. We need to support people.

You see, it would be easier for me right now to trash everyone, to say who’s to blame, why this happened, and so on. And to spread all this negativity—and eventually, you’ll pick up on it too. You’ll start trashing others, pointing fingers, and all that. But, *** [damn], *** [why] is that necessary? The very fact—as I’m saying—of participating in the tournament, the very fact of all this, is already awesome.

Going forward, we’ll have to work on our mistakes—not just regarding drafts and gameplay, but also regarding who did what, with whom, and so on. So I hope next season will be better than this one. But still, it was a great season. I also gained a lot of experience, both positive and negative. There were *** [plenty] of negatives, as usual, but that’s because everything constantly falls on my shoulders, and that causes a lot of stress, especially when there’s nothing I can do about it.

On the team’s mistakes

I think next time... I just realized, you know, what the mistake was. I can talk about it in more detail later on my streams. For some reason, we just strangely changed our plan a lot. First we messed up the draft, then something else. Because usually I’m used to dealing a lot of damage. But, let’s say, today on Matilda I couldn’t deal much damage.

I think picking Bruno with Matilda was the wrong call. SMETANA and I discussed it, and I agree with him. We could have picked Granger. If we’d given him the pace, Granger wouldn’t have sold the first objectives even if we’d fought for them. He wanted me to pick him. But I thought the guys would at least put on a good show in the last game, but after—and I’ll say this again—the Turks lost, that was it; the motivation completely faded from their eyes.

But I was motivated until the very end; I wanted to win. I’ll say it again: this is very important to me. Believe me, I live for this; I put my whole self into it—my time, my effort, my money. I put everything into it.

Victory Song Gamers lost all of their matches in the group stage of the MSC 2026 Wild Card, and as a result, failed to secure a spot in the Challenge Stage and were eliminated from the tournament, finishing in 24th–25th place. The team earned $25,000 in prize money for their performance.
