The last tournament so far for Nisha and the team was DPC WEU 2023 Tour 3: Division I.

Prior to this tournament, Talon Esports played in the Southeast Asia Division I, DPC SEA 2023 Tour 3: Division I. Their results can be described as unsatisfactory. The squad finished 4-3, losing to the likes of Bleed Esports, BOOM Esports and Execration. These statistics placed Talon in fourth place in the standings, which means 23savage and the team will miss the Major Championship in Bali. As a consolation, Talon Esports earned $26,000 and 100 DPC points.
