Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov connected the great performance of Nigma Galaxy at BLAST Slam 2 with the addition of a new player to the roster replacing Amer “Miracle-” al-Barkawi which contributed a lot towards achieving the top 3-4 position in the Dota 2 tournament.

The streamer and former esports athlete revealed this on a twitch stream.

“I did not see the games, just the result. Get some motivated players to replace apathetic veterans and things start to work out?” NS questioned. “Miracle- and SumaiL was an overkill. SumaiL played fine, unlike Miracle-. He played terribly in every match. He performed okay because it is hard to play poorly on Gyrocopter with Io where you completely dominate the lane, or just terribly”

NS thinks that substituting the Dota 2 great for Daniel “Ghost” Chan resulted in the astonishing results which shocked the community the same way he was shocked when Ghost single handedly destroyed PARIVISION who were one of the top favorites.

Based on statements from the streamer, the issue was players who had overstayed their welcome in the NS pro scene. NS said that they were exhausted and would not be able to deliver the results that the fans remember them for.

It is important to highlight that Said Sumail “SumaiL” Hassan had previously mentioned Kuro “KuroKy” Salehi Takhasomi’s departure from Nigma Galaxy main lineup.
