He has been a part of Nigma Galaxy's roster since May 2022 but recently played for Team Aster as a stand-in at the ESL One Berlin Major 2023, where he managed a Top 8 finish despite the language barrier. SumaiL's impressive display at the tournament caught the attention of many Dota 2 fans, who were eagerly waiting to see where the player would go next. However, a recent tweet from Nigma Galaxy has come as a surprise to many, as the organization announced that SumaiL will be released from their roster.

Nigma Galaxy announced the departure of SumaiL from its roster, leaving fans shocked and wondering what could have led to the sudden decision. The tweet, which simply said "The King has left the building", was posted on the team's official account, leaving no room for interpretation.

The announcement has left many wondering what's next for both SumaiL and Nigma Galaxy.

SumaiL will continue with Team Aster until TI12


According to Team Aster’s official Weibo account, SumaiL will continue playing with Team Aster until The International 2023 (TI12), which is scheduled for later this year.
