The news comes a day after dramatic moves on Wednesday that left Nigma Galaxy with just one active player.<\/p>\n<p>SumaiL initially joined Nigma Galaxy in May 2022 after a short and unsuccessful stint with Team Secret. With SumaiL on the roster, Nigma Galaxy returned to the top division of DPC WEU 2021\/2022 but failed to win anything at the highest level.<\/p>\n<p>A long dry streak led to more roster changes, with coach Daniel &#8220;ImmortalFaith&#8221; Moza, Ammar &#8220;ATF&#8221; Al-Assaf, and SumaiL removed from the active lineup. After he was benched in May this year, <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/dota-2-pro-sumail-departs-nigma-galaxy-lineup\/\">SumaiL joined Team Aster on loan<\/a> and stayed with the Chinese outfit for six months.<\/p>\n<p>With Team Aster, SumaiL placed top eight at ESL One Berlin Major 2023 and won a bronze medal in DPC CN 2023 Tour 3: Division I. Unfortunately, his stint in China ended in August when Aster crashed out of The International 2023 China Qualifier in fifth-sixth place.<\/p>\n<p>Since leaving Aster, SumaiL has attended just one professional Dota 2 tournament, BetBoom Dacha, as a replacement for Armel &#8220;Armel&#8221; Tabios at Team Secret. While SumaiL again came short of winning a trophy, he helped his former team claim a bronze medal.<\/p>\n<div class=\" embed-twitter\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">SUMAAAAAAAAAAAAIL! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jrl2Au0gMS\">pic.twitter.com\/jrl2Au0gMS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Nigma Galaxy (@NigmaGalaxy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NigmaGalaxy\/status\/1737790037977080167?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 21, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>SumaiL rejoins Nigma Galaxy at a difficult time.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, the team released Yuma &#8220;Yuma&#8221; Langlet, Kasra &#8220;Mikey&#8221; Mesbah, and Ivan &#8220;MinD_ContRoL&#8221; Ivanov. Just hours later, Maroun &#8220;GH&#8221; Merhej announced that he was taking a break from competitive play for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n<p>This left Nigma Galaxy with just two players: captain Kuro &#8220;KuroKy&#8221; Salehi Takhasomi, who was rumoured to retire before the 2024 season, and <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/miracle-to-miss-dpc-2023-for-nigma-galaxy-due-to-health-issues\/\">Amer &#8220;Miracle-&#8221; Al-Barkawi<\/a>, who has been inactive since he stepped down from the roster in December 2022 due to health issues.<\/p>\n<p>While the departure of Miracle- came as a shock, Nigma Galaxy were expected to make drastic changes ahead of the 2024 season. Since Miracle-, GH, MinD_ContRoL, and KuroKy formed the squad after leaving Team Liquid, Nigma Galaxy haven&#8217;t accomplished much.<\/p>\n<p>While they were always on the cusp of establishing themselves as one of the top European sides, Nigma Galaxy have yet to win an S-Tier event. Their lacklustre performances became even more noticeable in 2023 when Nigma dropped to the second division for DPC WEU 2023 Tour 3 for the second year and ended the season with no tournament titles.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/news\/\" class=\"contentLinkBtn\">More esports news<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having left the team in May, Sumail &#8220;SumaiL&#8221; Hassan has returned to the Nigma Galaxy Dota 2 lineup amid a major roster overhaul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":26553,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":"","wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[17,1840,775],"class_list":["post-33600","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-dota-2","tag-nigma-galaxy","tag-syed-sumail-hassan"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33600"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33600"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33600\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33602,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33600\/revisions\/33602"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26553"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33600"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33600"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33600"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
