Nigma Galaxy needs a Miracle- after losing their King

Nigma Galaxy's 2023 DPC season has not been kind. This team has more or less been together since their win in TI7, a brotherhood, one might say. Although their friendship might be strong, their adaptability to Dota's current pace is weakening. Although they made changes to their roster and roles, there has been no impact. With their star player, Miracle-, out of the picture, Nigma has been struggling to fill in his shoes.

Current State of NGX

SumaiL's future with Aster

'The King has left the building', tweeted Nigma Galaxy with not much of an explanation about SumaiL's future. During the Berlin Major, SumaiL was a stand-in for Team Aster's mid. The fans were surprised by the impact SumaiL had on the Chinese team despite not speaking their language. The team eliminated Team Spirit and secured 7th place at the Major after losing to Liquid. The King's fascinating performance at the Major questioned his return to Div II for the remainder of the DPC.

And just as questioned, after the Berlin Major, Nigma Galaxy tweeted SumaiL's departure. But he is not leaving the organization for good, as Aster is still in talks with Nigma about SumaiL's future. As of now, SumaiL is, for the lack of a better word, 'loaned' to Aster until the end of TI 12.

Ammar loaned to Quest Esports

Quest Esports, formerly known as Ooredoo Thunders, recently parted ways with their position 3. This left the roster open for the Div I team until a tweet from Nigma Galaxy came as a surprise. Another loan, this time it was ATF, that was sent to Quest Esports to fill their offlane spot. ATF was an offlaner to start with, but his transition to Pos1 in Nigma did not work out as expected. But surely, his experience with Nigma Galaxy will help Quest Esports.

Who will Kuro pick this time?

With Nigma's carry and mid loaned, their current roster requires two players to compete in Div II. The organization has not updated the fans regarding this. But word around the community is that Yuma "Yuma" Langlet will join Nigma Galaxy. Yuma was D1 Hustler's carry player until 2 days ago. With three more days for the roster lock, KuroKy will be facing a tough decision. While this might solve their carry problem, they still need a midlaner.

Many fans are eagerly waiting for the return of Miracle-. But that is unlikely to happen since he has resumed his break after his brief run at DreamLeague. Although it might be nice to watch the 'Miracle Show' again.
