Abu Dhabi-based esports organization Team Nigma has merged with Galaxy Racer, another MENA (Middle East and North Africa) organization.

With this merger, Team Nigma will be renamed as Nigma Galaxy. They will also run the esports division of Galaxy Racer.

Nigma Galaxy will continue on as an independent entity. It will have a separate budget, brand and identity. The co-founders Team Nigma; Mohamed Morad, Christoph Timm and Kuro Salehi Takhasomi will run the esports division.

Mohamed Morad recently spoke to ESI. He talked about how the merger will impact the MENA region and strengthen both organizations.

We have a huge esports background and we understand esports really well. We know how to build teams and we know how to scout and nurture talent. Galaxy Racer also has an amazing background when it comes to the IP entertainment industry. So, by combining all our resources together, I think we can make the scene really big and even nourish more talent in the region.

Galaxy Racer has a number of competitive teams in MENA region. It also has teams in other regions such as Europe and Southeast Asia. Nigma Galaxy will use Galaxy Racer’s existing resources. And it will expand further in Europe, South and North America, Southeast Asia and China.

This merger will also allow Galaxy Racer to maintain its brand identity. However, the organization will now also try to focus on content creation and additional branches. Galaxy Racer’s job offerings include tournament management, merchandising, and the organization’s record label, GXR Records.

Paul Roy, CEO and Founder of Galaxy Racer, said this in a press release:

We are excited to announce our merger with Team Nigma to transform our competitive esports division into Nigma Galaxy. Team Nigma’s leadership team carries vast experience as professional players, which we believe will be a great asset to building and supporting all the teams under the Nigma Galaxy banner. With this merger, we believe we will be able to truly unlock this potential and shape the future of esports on a global scale.
