Player Fbz from from Nigma Galaxy Dota 2
Bio
Saiful Fbz Ilham - Indonesian Dota 2 player, one of the strongest offlaner in Southeast Asia, known for his performances for BOOM Esports.
Fbz began his player career in 2017 at the age of 15. His first team was Pandora Esports, with which Saiful mainly performed on the Indonesian scene. Pandora Esports could not achieve success at a more global level, and in 2018 the team fell apart. However, Fbz was the most promising player from that lineup, which allowed him to join the strongest team in Indonesia called BOOM Esports. At that time, Saiful played in a carry or mid position, but he could not "farm" his team a ticket to The International 2018 (TI8): despite a direct invitation to the closed qualifiers, BOOM Esports failed to advance from the group stage.
The end of 2018 was a very important milestone in Fbz's career. In November, SaintDeLucaz - the offlaner of the team, finished his career. Saiful decided to move to this vacant position, and it began to bring results: although BOOM Esports did not qualify for The Chongqing Major, they easily qualified for The Bucharest Minor, although they took the last place at the tournament. Gradually, the team rose, the roster changed, but Fbz and the company regularly participated in tournaments, earning prize money. Nevertheless, they failed to qualify for the main tournament of the year - The International 2021 (TI10).
In 2022, BOOM Esports reached the highest level of play, performing successfully in tournaments from the very beginning of the year. Literally destroying all opponents at DPC SEA 2021/22 Tour 1: Regional Finals, Fbz's team won at GAMERS GALAXY: Invitational Series Dubai 2022.
Fbz has a very flexible pool of heroes. Despite the fact that Saiful's main heroes in the offlane are Centaur Warrunner, Beastmaster, and Mars, the Indonesian "trio" is also a good performer on more unconventional heroes (such as Puck or Weaver).
Fbz, along with BOOM Esports, dominated the Dota Pro Circuit Regular Season among teams from Southeast Asia, but failed to show a consistent showing at international tournaments. 9-10th place at ESL One: Malaysia 2022, 7-8th place at PGL: Arlington Major 2022 and 9-12th place at The International 2022 (TI11),
- June 10, 2023 - Fbz joins Team Secret as a player on loan. With him, the team played at DreamLeague Season 20, Riyadh Masters 2023 and BB Dacha 2023.
Fbz also played with Team Secret at the Qualifier for The International 2023 (TI12), where he finished in 4th place, which prevented him from qualifying for TI12. His last tournament for this team was the BB Dacha 2023 event and top-3.
The 2023/2024 season for Fbz began with him returning to his home region of Southeast Asia and joining Among Us. As part of this mix, he struggles to qualify for DreamLeague Season 22 Open Qualifier, but only places 7th-8th in the closed qualifiers.
- January 22, 2024 - Fbz becomes the new offlaner of Nigma Galaxy. He replaces Ghost in this role and will now try his hand in the MENA region.
