Yasin “
Nisqy” Dinçer confirmed in a sincere Twitch stream earlier this Tuesday that he will no longer be playing support and is officially stepping away from
Team Vitality. This follows a disappointing Spring Split where the former LEC champion roleswapped in a last-minute move to return to the league. As previously reported by Sheep Esports, Vitality is expected to replace Nisqy
with the current Vitality.Bee's support, Kadir "Fleshy" Kemiksiz, ahead of the Summer Split.
Why the roleswap failed to deliver
“I'm done with the support role,” Nisqy said plainly. “After Winter, I wanted to return to competitive play, so I roleswapped to have a shot. I believed in Vitality and in my ability, but things didn’t go well.” Although he feels he gave the team a fair chance and that his contributions were respected, Nisqy explained that the project fell short of his expectations. “There were some problems during the split, but overall, the team was doing okay. Still, after the last series against Heretics, I lost all motivation. I told the coaching staff right after that I wasn’t interested in playing support anymore.”
One of the main reasons behind his decision was a mismatch in vision and ambition. “When I joined, it was supposed to be for the full year,” he said. “But the way things were evolving, I wasn’t happy with the team’s progress. It was too slow for what I wanted to accomplish. When I get that feeling that a project isn’t right, I lose motivation—I feel like I’m wasting time.”
The end of the support experiment
Returning to his natural role, Nisqy began looking for opportunities as a midlaner for the Summer Split. But so far, nothing has materialized. “I don’t think there’s a spot for me in LEC this Summer,” he admitted. “If I don’t find a midlane project by the end of the year, I think that’s potentially the end of my pro career.”
Nisqy made it clear this isn’t just about desire — he believes he still has what it takes. “I’ve said for a long time: if I don’t have the level for midlane, or if teams don’t believe I do, then I’ll stop. Personally, I think I still have the level. The question is whether a team agrees.”

The support move didn’t come without its positives. “
I don’t regret the roleswap. It was a good experience and I had fun playing again. But it’s hard going from midlane, where you can do so much, to support, where you're more limited.” Nisqy also touched on the lack of synergy with bot laner Matyáš "
Carzzy" Orság, saying, “
I thought we’d match a lot better. That’s also part of why I’m stepping away from the role.”
He praised the coaching staff for their efforts but acknowledged a significant disconnect. “There was a real gap between me and the coaching staff about how things should be done, the ambition of the team, how to push players... I don’t think we were on the same page.”
Nisqy is still eager to play in LEC
Looking ahead, Nisqy ruled out options like playing in ERLs or going back to North America. His priority remains staying in Europe and aiming for Worlds. Coaching doesn’t interest him either—at least not yet. “I’d rather stream than coach, especially not as a head coach in the LEC.” As of now, Nisqy remains a free agent and has made it clear: support is over, and his eyes are back on midlane — whether or not the LEC will offer him another chapter.
