Nigma Galaxy, the Dota 2 team, is facing uncertainty as they have yet to finalize their roster for the upcoming 2024 season. After a disappointing performance in the Western European qualifiers for TI12 and BetBoom Dacha, Nigma is still searching for a winning formula. With their star player Miracle- on hiatus due to health issues and no significant tournament appearances, Nigma’s future remains uncertain.
Throughout the year, Nigma experimented with different lineups, but none of them found success in the highly competitive Western European region. Players like ATF, SumaiL, Yuma, and Mikey took turns playing positions one and two, but the team struggled to make an impact.
Despite the recent qualifiers for ESL One Kuala Lumpur, Nigma has confirmed that they will not be finalizing their roster in time for the event. The organization plans to announce their new lineup by mid-December, leaving fans eagerly waiting for updates.
In the meantime, MinD_ContRoL attempted to qualify with a separate stack called komanda X, but unfortunately fell short against Alliance in the match for third place.
The biggest questions surrounding Nigma revolve around the future of Miracle- and KuRoKy. However, the team has remained tight-lipped about their status. While the social media team hinted at Miracle-‘s potential return, they did not provide any concrete information. As for KuRoKy’s retirement rumors, Nigma stated that it is beyond their knowledge.
Regarding the rest of the roster, Nigma mentioned that Mikey and Yuma will have a more prominent presence on the team’s social media platforms. No updates were given about GH, but it is likely that he will return if the core four players are back.
Furthermore, it was clarified that SumaiL’s contract did not revert to Nigma after his loan period with Team Aster. The status of SumaiL’s future with Nigma remains uncertain, but a potential return is not out of the question.
