The King, Syed "SumaiL" Hassan will play for Nigma.Galaxy in the DPC 2021-22 Season Summer Tour, hoping for a spot at The International 2022.
After a very disappointing season, Nigma.Galaxy made their first move in roster changes last week as they bid farewell to Igor "iLTW" Filatov in hopes of seeing an improvement for the upcoming (and last) tour of the DPC 2021-22 season.
It was the day after Team Secret parted ways with Syed "SumaiL" Hassan.
Many fans were hopeful that the King would land on the same team as other legendary players and previous The International champions.
It seems today those fans rejoice.
Nigma Galaxy was sent to Division II by Team Liquid —well, Liquid's win was the nail in the coffin for them at least — and will need to compete in the closed qualifiers for a chance to attend The International this year. They did NOT compete in The International 2021.
SumaiL did participate, playing with OG, who were able to gain entry via the same regional qualifiers last year. OG took 7-8th place.
Nigma Galaxy roster:
Amer “Miracle-” Al-Barkawi
Syed Sumail “SumaiL” Hassan
Ivan “MinD_ContRoL” Borislavov Ivanov
Maroun “GH” Merhej
Kuro “KuroKy” Salehi Takhasomi
