TaiLung about Keeper of the Light in mid: “This is a very situational character”

LGD Gaming mid laner Santiago ' TaiLung ' Olivos Aguero Gustavo, in an interview at the Esports World Cup 2026, spoke about how his life has changed since starting his playing career, spoke about his excitement while playing in tournaments, and also reflected on the strength of Keeper of the Light in the second position.

[ What's it like going from everyday life to traveling the world and playing on one of the best teams? ] Before this, my life was not entirely ordinary, because I played Dota a lot. I did a little studying, but the rest of the time I still spent playing the game. And now I just started traveling more. I think I'm coping with this. For me this has already become something familiar.

Of course, I'm much more nervous on LAN than when playing online. I remember my first BLAST - then I was very worried. But now I already have a little experience, so I’m not so nervous anymore.

[ I saw you play mid Keeper of the Light during the qualifiers for the Esports Nations Cup 2026. How would you rate the strength of a position 2 hero in the current meta? ] This is a very situational character. I really enjoy playing it, but I think it should only be chosen in certain situations. Perhaps we will choose him at this tournament, but everything always depends on the specific situation.
