Nigma Galaxy is a European esports organization (formerly known as Team Nigma) based in the United Arab Emirates.

The organization was founded in November 2019 by former Team Liquid players, four of whom had won The International 2017 and several other major tournaments: Kuro KuroKy Salehi Takhasomi, Amer Miracle- Al-Barkawi, Ivan MinD_ContRoL Ivanov, Maroun GH Merhej, and Aliwi w33 Omar. The roster was created after the team's runner-up finish at The International 2019.

The star-studded lineup left Team Liquid to establish its own organization and gain full control over team management.

2019-2020

The organization's first years under the new banner were marked by consistent, though not outstanding, results.

The team won WePlay! Bukovel Minor 2020 and WePlay! Dota 2 Tug of War: Mad Moon, finished 7th–8th at ESL One Los Angeles 2020, reached the top four at ESL One Birmingham 2020, and secured several other podium finishes at smaller tournaments.

Thanks to the roster's stability, no lineup changes were made during this period.

2021

Results declined in 2021, leading to the first roster changes. In April, w33 was moved to inactive status, Miracle- switched to the mid lane, and Igor iLTW Filatov joined as the new carry.

The revamped lineup produced mixed results: a 5th–6th place finish at WePlay AniMajor, 7th–8th at ESL One Summer 2021, and a disappointing exit in the closed qualifiers for The International 2021, marking the first time KuroKy failed to qualify for TI.

2022

The team's only notable achievement early in 2022 was a third-place finish at GAMERS GALAXY Dubai 2022.

Following another disappointing DPC season, iLTW left the team. SumaiL became the new mid laner, while Miracle- returned to the carry role.

The reshuffle failed to improve results. Nigma continued finishing between 5th and 8th at major events and once again failed to qualify for The International.

At the end of the year, Miracle- stepped down due to health issues, and Ammar ATF Al-Assaf replaced him.

2023

The experiment with ATF lasted only six months and produced no significant results. Subsequent lineups featuring Yuma Yuma Langlet and Kasra Mikey Mesbah also failed to succeed.

The team once again missed both The International 2023 and Riyadh Masters 2023.

In December, the roster was disbanded, leaving KuroKy as its only remaining member.

2024

At the beginning of the year, Miracle- and SumaiL returned, but repeated trials with new offlaners and position four players resulted only in unsuccessful qualification campaigns. GH returned to the roster later in the spring.

Nigma again failed to qualify for TI 2024 and Riyadh Masters 2024. The team's best result of the year was a top-three finish at Clavision Snow Ruyi Invitational, where Daniel Ghost Chan stood in for Miracle-, while Ivan OneJey Zhivitskiy played as the position four.

In autumn, KuroKy transitioned to the coaching role, GH moved to position five, while Omar OmaR Moughrabi and Tony No!ob Assaf joined as the new position four and offlaner.

Results remained disappointing. Nigma was eliminated in the group stage of PGL Wallachia Season 2 and DreamLeague Season 24, before exiting ESL One Bangkok 2024 in the first round of the playoffs.

2025

At the beginning of the year, Miracle- officially stepped down due to health issues, with Ghost becoming his replacement.

The team unexpectedly reached the top four at BLAST SLAM II, but struggled throughout the spring, suffering multiple group stage eliminations, with the exception of a 7th–8th place finish at ESL One Raleigh 2025.

During the summer, Nigma Galaxy qualified for The International 2025 for the first time in several years and finished in 5th–6th place.

After TI, GH took a break before returning in December, shortly after Ghost departed and was replaced by Aibek TA2000 Tokayev.

The new carry failed to establish himself and left the roster following disappointing performances at PGL Wallachia Season 6 and DreamLeague Season 27.

2026

At the beginning of 2026, Denis Rincyq Bogushev joined as the team's new carry. He remained with the roster for only six months before being replaced by SumaiL, who returned after a brief absence and switched to the carry role.

At the same time, Artem Lorenof Melnik replaced No!ob in the mid lane after impressing with his performances for Aurora Gaming.

Throughout the year, Nigma finished as runner-up in the third and fourth seasons of DreamLeague Division 2, as well as at PREMIER SERIES. However, the team once again failed to reach the playoffs at ESL One Birmingham 2026 and DreamLeague Season 29.

Despite inconsistent results, the team successfully qualified for Esports World Cup 2026.
