A NEW GLOBAL ESPORTS BRAND APPEARED IN 2019, FOUNDED BY FOUR OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL PLAYERS IN THE WORLD

ABOUT NIGMA GALAXY

Team Nigma, a professional Dota 2 esports organisation, was founded in 2019 by former Team Liquid members Mohamed Morad and Christoph Timm as well as four out of five of the champions of The International 2017, Miracle-, Gh, MinD_ContRoL and KuroKy. Within a year, Team Nigma secured a landmark partnership with Etihad Airways, the national airline of the UAE, becoming the first esports team to be sponsored by a premier airline. Based out of Abu Dhabi, Team Nigma also recently partnered with one of the largest telco providers, Etisalat, hosting the biggest Dota 2 tournament in the MENA region – ‘Rising Stars’.

Nigma Galaxy is the merger between Team Nigma and Galaxy Racer, and currently features an impressive roster of 10 esports teams across nine different games including League of Legends, Dota 2, CS:GO, PUBG Mobile, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, Wild Rift, Free Fire, Tekken and Rocket League. Combining the experience, talent and resources from two of the most renowned gaming and esports brands in MENA and with an impressive global reach, Nigma Galaxy is already a frontrunner when it comes to building esports infrastructure and supporting local talent in the region

Taking inspiration from Galaxy Racer’s values of diversity and equal representation in esports, with over 60 male and female esports athletes from over 20 countries, Nigma Galaxy is continuing its parent brand’s support for young and emerging talent.

NGX VISION

TO BE THE FIRST TRULY GLOBAL, COMPETITIVE ESPORTS ORGANISATION

NGX MISSION

WE ARE BRINGING NEW FANS TO THE SPORT AND DEVELOPING THE TALENT OF THE FUTURE BY PROVIDING INFRASTRUCTURE AND OPPORTUNITIES TO EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO CALL ESPORTS THEIR HOME

NGX Values

Passion

We’re doing what we love. We live for the competition and are not afraid to put in the hard work to continously exceed expectations.

Innovation

Our goal is to make our business sustainable and unique. This is only possible by adapting a mentality of constant growth and improvement and being pioneers in our industry to advance to a better future for everyone.

People

Nothing we are looking to accomplish is possible without the people we have on board for our journey. We believe in transparency being one of our biggest strengths and treat each other with respect, kindness and honesty.

Sportsmanship

We want to win. Every defeat has to be treated as a chance for us to learn and grow, while we stay humble when we raise the trophy. The motto is always fair play and respect towards our opponents, teammates and the fans.

FROM MENA TO
THE WORLD’S STAGE

Our players and staff are hailing from all around the world and various backgrounds. They combine their experiences to a remarkable journey on our mission to provide infrastructure and develop new talent in the esports industry.

One region that is a special focus of ours has to be MENA. With some of our players and staff hailing from the Middle East, we felt that people in the region were underserved when it comes to experiencing esports. We’re looking to change that and hope by providing the infrastructure and applying our experiences in esports to the business we conduct in the MENA region, we will be able to develop the next generation of local talent, that will be able to advance to the global stage and make the sport more popular and accessible in the MENA region.

MENA ACADEMY TEAM

With our HQ being based in Abu Dhabi and the story we have told so far, there is quite a unique opportunity for us to develop talent in the Middle East and support them for their next step onto the big stage. This gives us the unique opportunity to create a stronger bond for the international league to the MENA region and open more doors for local talent.

As we’re building out esports further from our HQ in Abu Dhabi, we would love to field more academy teams from the MENA region and hopefully through practice opportunities with our main teams as well as through our bootcamp opportunities all around the world, we can develop more talent from the MENA region to be ready for one of the big international leagues.

PARTNERSHIPS

We‘re focussing on premium non- and endemic brands to be able to bring our partners maximum value. By integrating our partners in the most authentic way into our ecosystem and showing how they actively help us to improve our performance in business and competition, we‘re able to tell a unique story and build our brand out further together with our partners.

Our advantage is the possibility to connect premium brands to our global loyal fanbase.

Across all titles we‘re not engaging with any partner in the Alcohol or Betting category.
