He’s back… Again. This Wednesday, Karmine Corp announced the arrival of Yasin “Nisqy” Dinçer as a substitute for their LEC team. After a short Spring Split with Vitality as a support, the Belgian player is now returning to his main role in the midlane.

Nisqy joins Karmine Corp’s LEC roster as a substitute

Nisqy will therefore be the direct substitute for Vladimiros “Vladi” Kourtidis, although the team has confirmed it won’t be a 6-man roster. Some fans already meme about “cronyism” because Nisqy is a long-time friend of Karmine Corp founder Kamel “Kameto” Kebir, but the move still makes sense. He’s been close to the team for a while — casting for the LFL team KCB in Spring and seen casting alongside Kameto during the LEC Winter split. Nisqy also brings a lot of experience, having played at Worlds four times and won titles in both the LEC and LCS.

Pushing Vladi forward

The Belgian player has particularly excelled in the mid/jungle relationship throughout his career, a component that contributed to Blue Wall’s success in the Winter Split but was somewhat lost in the Spring playoffs. The prodigy Vladi underperformed individually on this occasion despite being untouchable in the previous split (MVP of the lower bracket final and the final). This looks like a win-win trade: Nisqy gets a chance to get back in shape and focus on competitive League again, boosting his chances for a spot next year, while Karmine Corp gains an experienced player to help support the team behind the scenes. Nisqy also mentioned he had “several similar offers”, but ultimately chose to join Karmine Corp.

As for his role, Nisqy explained on stream that he’ll be watching all the scrims, helping Vladi with 1v1s, and giving feedback when needed. He’ll be working closely with the Greek player and Apples, but made it clear several times that he is “not a positional coach.” While nothing has been officially stated, this move could also be a way for Karmine Corp to apply some pressure on their starting midlaner — encouraging Vladi to perform at his best, knowing there’s now a strong sub ready to step in.
