He moved to the United States a few years back, the child prodigy had already made waves in the in-house gaming league for North America. It is there where he was chosen by one of the biggest e-sports team, the Evil Geniuses.
Sumail made history in 2015 when he supported his team, Evil Geniuses’, claim the Defense of the Ancient 2 (Dota 2) Asian championship in China. He played an instrumental role in the team’s success as he was the game changer.

Pakistan is home to many gamers, but it is not a gaming house yet like other regions. But we are hoping to see other talented Pakistani teenagers come forward as a gamer, this may sound strange but some professional gamers actually earn way more than our highest-earning doctors and engineers.
