Undeterred by the poor start, Sumail quickly took control of the game and led his team to victory, while finishing with a score of 17-7-11. Sumail's most notable performance of the tournament was in Game 3 of the finals, where he found himself with a 0-3-0 score on Storm Spirit before the three minute mark. In the finals Sumail established himself as one of the best mid players in the world with his stellar play. After a 2-0 victory over the tournament favorite Team Secret in the lower bracket finals, EG had a rematch with VG in the finals. EG stormed through the upper bracket beating Na'Vi and Big God, but were soundly defeated 2-0 by VG in the upper bracket finals. This proved to be quite successful as EG found themselves in the top 4, with an 11-4 record, after the group stage. EG's captain ppd entered the tournament with a focus on drafting around Sumail, in order to ensure he was comfortable in game. In his first match of the tournament, Sumail introduced his Euls Scepter of Divinity Shadow Fiend build, which would quickly become part of the meta for the tournament. In February, Sumail would get a chance to redeem himself as EG participated in the Dota 2 Asia Championships. Critics began to question whether he deserved a roster spot on a team like Evil Geniuses. The team performed poorly at the event, in part to lack luster performance by Sumail.
Sumail's LAN debut was at the Dota 2 League Season 5 finals in Las Vegas on January 6th 2015. His play was so impressive that UNiVeRsE pushed for EG to recruit him in January 2015. Sumail quickly became the highest rated player in the in-house league, establishing himself as one of the best upcoming talents in the North American scene. When his family moved from Pakistan to Rosemont, Illinois in 2012 he began playing in the North American Elite League. He started playing Dota when he was eight years old.
