Jonas “SabeRLight-” Volek says Team Nemesis gave him an unusually supportive environment during his stand-in appearance at PGL Wallachia Season 9. The offlaner thanked the organisation for inviting him and praised both the team’s cores and supports. His sharpest comparison concerned how often the supports rotated toward his lane: he said he received more help with Nemesis than he remembered from playing alongside iNSaNiA or during his time with Virtus.pro.
The comment came before Nemesis were eliminated and was delivered in a playful interview rather than as a formal ranking of support players. SabeRLight- joked that his earlier teams had sometimes left him exposed, while Nemesis repeatedly moved resources toward him. The useful detail is the difference in experience he described. He felt enabled in the offlane and believed the rest of the lineup deserved more credit for the team’s good moments than he did as a temporary replacement.
SabeRLight- singled out JaCkky as a major reason the games felt manageable. He described the carry as a player who repeatedly rescued difficult situations and referred to dominant performances on heroes including Tiny and Sven. The interview included an approximate example rather than a verified match statistic, so it is safer to preserve the meaning than turn the remark into an exact record. His central point was that Nemesis’ established players made the stand-ins’ work easier.

Stand-ins changed two positions
Nemesis entered the tournament without two members of its regular lineup. SabeRLight- replaced Anucha “Jabz” Jirawong after visa problems prevented the offlaner from attending. Fabian “Mo13ei” Knehr played instead of Argel “Ken” Llesis. That meant the team had to integrate temporary players in two core positions while competing at a major event, a situation that placed extra value on clear support movements and established calls.
The interviewer asked whether the absent players should worry after the stand-ins’ performances. SabeRLight- rejected that suggestion and called Jabz and Ken elite players. This response keeps his praise in proportion. He enjoyed the tournament setup and admired how Nemesis played around him, but he did not claim the temporary roster should replace the normal one. Gratitude for an opportunity and respect for the absent starters can coexist.
Nemesis eventually finished in seventh-eighth place. That result supplies the final competitive boundary around the interview. Positive chemistry did not carry the team through the entire bracket, yet the placement also does not erase the value of assembling a functional lineup under visa pressure. The comments document how the group worked from the offlaner’s perspective, not an argument that the tournament finish was a success by every standard.
The comparison with Liquid and Virtus.pro should be read with the same care. SabeRLight- referred to iNSaNiA by name and joked that the help had been less frequent in previous teams. He did not present ward maps, rotation counts or a complete review of those lineups. The statement is first-hand evidence of how supported he felt at Nemesis, not objective proof that one support duo is universally stronger than another.
What the praise actually tells us
The strongest conclusion concerns role fit. A stand-in offlaner joined a team already adapting to another replacement and quickly felt that teammates were enabling his lane. That suggests Nemesis found practical ways to include him rather than expecting him to reproduce Jabz’s game without adjustment. SabeRLight-‘s willingness to redirect credit toward JaCkky and the supports also shows how he understood his place in the temporary roster.
It remains a short tournament sample. A permanent lineup must repeat good communication across patches, opponents and longer preparation cycles. Nemesis did not get that time with this five. What the event did provide was a credible temporary solution and a clear endorsement from one of the players asked to make it work.
- SabeRLight- stood in for Jabz, who missed the event because of visa problems.
- Mo13ei replaced Ken, leaving Nemesis with two temporary core players.
- SabeRLight- credited JaCkky and the supports for making his games easier.

| Interview point | Careful interpretation |
|---|---|
| Frequent support rotations | SabeRLight- felt more enabled in lane |
| Comparison with earlier teams | A personal and humorous assessment, not tracking data |
| Praise for stand-ins | He did not argue that Jabz or Ken should lose their places |
| Final placement | Nemesis finished seventh-eighth at the event |
SabeRLight-‘s account gives Nemesis credit for solving an immediate teamwork problem. With two stand-ins, the lineup still created enough support around the offlane for him to feel unusually comfortable. The tournament ended earlier than the team wanted, but his comments identify a real strength of the temporary roster: it made new players feel integrated rather than isolated.
