VANSKOR says Malr1ne strengthened Team Liquid and has a similar style to Nisha
In a comment to CyberMeta, VANSKOR praised Malr1ne’s arrival and said the two midlaners share an active, aggressive approach. Liquid finished fourth at PARI Universe.
Ivan “VANSKOR” Skorokhod said Malr1ne’s arrival strengthened Team Liquid and that the midlaner’s style is similar to Nisha’s. He made the comments to CyberMeta on November 3, 2026, while discussing Liquid’s performance at PARI Universe.
VANSKOR said Liquid played better than at its previous tournament, but that the improvement should not be attributed to adaptation. He compared Malr1ne’s arrival with MidOne’s appearance for Liquid at BLAST SLAM.
Skorokhod said both Nisha and Malr1ne play actively and aggressively, often moving around the map to help the side lanes. In his view, their hero pools differ by no more than a couple of heroes.
Liquid finished PARI Universe in fourth place after losing 1–2 to Team Spirit in the lower-bracket semifinal.
