Early Life[edit]
Sumail was born in Karachi, Pakistan in 1999. He started to play Dota 2 at 7. In 2014, his family moved to Chicago, United States.[1]
Professional Career[edit]
Sumail joined Evil Geniuses after the departure of Arteezy and zai.[2]
Along with Evil Geniuses, SumaiL managed to take down Vici Gaming 3-0 at the grand finals of DAC 2015, taking home almost $1.3 million dollars. He is now respected as one of the most talented players in the scene. Even at 15, SumaiL proved that he could compete on the same level with other elite solo mids, highlighted by his excellent Storm Spirit play.
SumaiL has most often been compared to Arteezy and Dendi, since all three of them are all highly skilled solo mid players who attracted attention and joined professional teams at a young age.
Controversy[edit]
SumaiL has frequently been criticized for exhibiting bad manners and flaming opponents during games. Evil Geniuses manager Charlie "Monolith" Yang has acknowledged that "[…] people that like to watch aggression, bad manners and people with no filter. They can watch Sumail"[3] Some observers argue that SumaiL still has a great deal of time to mature and point out that other players once known for their poor in-game manners, such as Arteezy, have since improved their behavior.
SumaiL and Evil Geniuses placed 5th/6th at the International 2019 and gained $1,201,552 which is 3.5% of the total prize pool. After the International, he parted ways with Evil Geniuses and began to play with his brother YawaR in pub matches. Then it was rumored that the new roster he will be in the future will compose of CCnC, MSS, SVG, YawaR and him.
Trivia[edit]
- He was only 15 years old when he joined Evil Geniuses, making him one of the youngest players ever to enter the scene.
- He is the younger brother of YawaR.
