Nigma Galaxy, a renowned name in the Dota 2 esports scene, recently made a significant shift in its roster. This strategic move, involving the departure of players Daniel “Ghost” Chan Kok Hong and Roman “rmN-” Paley, has opened up new avenues for the team as they gear up for the ESL One Birmingham 2024 qualifiers.
Roster Update: A New Chapter for Nigma Galaxy
The team’s decision, just 15 days post-recruitment of Ghost and rmN-, comes in the wake of underwhelming performances in key qualifiers, notably BetBoom Dacha Dubai and DreamLeague Season 2022. Nigma Galaxy’s swift action highlights their commitment to excellence and adaptability in the highly competitive Dota 2 landscape.
Farewell to Ghost and rmN-
In an official tweet, Nigma Galaxy expressed gratitude towards Ghost and rmN- for their contributions. The team’s focus now shifts to filling the crucial roles of an offlaner and position four, aiming to bolster their lineup.
Remaining Core Roster
The current core roster retains its strength with players:
- Amer “Miracle-” Al-Barkawi
- Sumail “SumaiL” Hassan
- Kuro “KuroKy” Salehi Takhasomi
The organization’s faith in this trio sets a solid foundation for integrating new talent.
Today we're parting way with @Ghostdota98 and @rmN_dota.
