The former Team Liquid roster, which left the Liquid franchise after finishing second at The International 2019, has formed its own organization called Nigma.

The entire squad that took on OG in the Grand Final of the TI9 will return: Amer "Miracle-" Al-Barkawi, Aliwi "w33" Omar, Ivan Borislavov "MinD_ContRoL" Ivanov, Maroun "GH" Merhej and Kuro "KuroKy" Salehi Takhasomi.

The roster also won TI7.

The former Team Liquid played in the European Region last season, but Nigma did not announce its region.

Nigma will miss the first Major cycle of the 2019-20 season but is expected to compete in the qualifiers for the Leipzig Major, which will be held in January.

No announcement has been made as to whether coach Roman "rmN-" Paley will move to Nigma with the players.
