Team Secret has announced that mid-laner Michał "Nisha" Jankowski will be departing after a four-year stint at the team.
Nisha leaves Team Secret
The departure was announced on the Team Secret website, in which the team described Nisha as "one of the cornerstones" of their Dota 2 roster over the past four years, and credits him as being a consistent factor in their overall success and specifically in their strong placement at The International 2022.
"What can I say about my boy Nisha," said team captain Clement "Puppey" Ivanov. "We've played many years together, shared many laughs, travelled the world and won a bunch of tournaments.
"I cherish our time together and completely understand his decision to move on and see more of the world. I wish him all the best and hope that his fire will keep burning for many more years."
It has yet to be announced who will be replacing Nisha, with Team Secret's current roster being made up of Remco "Crystallis" Arets, Roman "Resolut1on" Fomynok, Baqyt "Zayac" Emiljanov, Clement "Puppey" Ivanov and coach Lee "Heen" Seung Gon.
Puppey scouted Nisha to join the team in 2018, replacing Marcus "Ace" Christensen in the carry position following The International 2018. Nisha was just 18 years old at the time, but under Puppey's tutelage he slowly built an impressive reputation for himself. He was the first Polish player to attend The International in 2019, and was crowned the Esports PC Player of the Year in 2020.
Nisha has two Major wins at at Chongqing & Paris under his belt, and most recently finished the 2021-22 DPC season with a second-place finish at The International.
It remains to be seen who will replace Nisha, but Team Secret admits that they have some "big shoes to fill."
