Fun Facts
Although best known as a midlaner (one of the best ever), Nisha has occasionally played carry (position 1), he is the only player who was successful in both roles.
Nisha is naturally left-handed (his mouse is in left hand), which some fans believe adds a unique edge to his mechanical skills and precision in-game.
