OneJey and V-Tune will stand in for Kuroky and Miracle- at the Clavision Snow Ruyi Invitational

Nigma Galaxy has not done too well in recent years. It has been a long time since they have attended LAN tournaments. They also announced that the team's star players, Kuro "KuroKy" Salehi and Amer "Miracle-" Al-Barkawi will not participate in the Clavision Snow Ruyi Invitational.

Nigma Galaxy announced on their official X account on July 17 that they will be using two substitute players for the Clavision Snow Ruyi Invitational. This means KuroKy and Miracle- won't be going to China for the tournament. Instead, Ivan "OneJey" Zhivitsky and Alik "V-Tune" Vorobey will be stepping in as stand-ins.

Nigma hasn't appeared at a LAN event for quite some time, and the community has been eagerly awaiting their return. However, it's surprising that the two most popular players among Chinese fans, Dota 2 legends Kuroky and Miracle-, will miss this offline event.

This isn't the first time they've used substitutes for a tournament in China. Back in 2019, when Miracle- was still with Liquid, he didn't attend the Chongqing Major. At that time, TI6 champion carry Chu "Aventador" Zeyu stood in as the substitute.

OneJey is a Belarusian player who is currently playing for L1GA TEAM, the team Roman "RAMZES666" Kushnarev played for in the past. He just started his professional career in 2022, which means he's a young star in the region.

As for V-Tune, this Ukrainian player has already been playing Dota 2 professionally for six years and made his name known during his time at NaVi.

This tournament will start soon after Riyadh ends. It will feature 10 teams, including Xtreme Gaming and Team Spirit attending it. The group stage will kick off on July 28. Make sure too keep an eye on our website and we will share more information about this event!
