Western Europe is one of the most interesting regions in terms of teams. Unexpectedly for many, the Nigma Galaxy team looked into the second division, which for a long period of time does not shine with results, perhaps the era of The International champions has come to an end, and perhaps the newly arrived SumaiL will breathe fresh ideas into the team and they will play with renewed vigor.
