Syed Sumail Hassan (Urdu: سمیل حسن ; born February 13, 1999), known by his in-game name Suma1L, is a Pakistani-American professional Dota 2 player for Evil Geniuses. Suma1L was a member of the team that won The International 2015, alongside Fear, Aui_2000, UNiVeRsE, and ppd.
In 2015, EG also won the Dota 2 Asia Championships in Shanghai. As of February 2017, he is the 3rd highest earning eSports professional with total earnings of $2,401,426.34 from 29 tournaments. The Guinness Book of World Records recognized Sumail as the youngest gamer to surpass $1 million USD in tournament prize money winnings. In 2016, the TIME magazine named Sumail among 'the 30 Most Influential Teens'.
Hassan first started playing Dota when he was seven years old. Upon his arrival to America he began playing in the South American Elite League. Hassan 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. His play was so impressive that Katya pushed for EG to recruit him in January 2015. Hassan's LAN debut was at the Dota 2 League Season 5 finals in Las Vegas on January 6, 2015. The team performed poorly at the event, in part to lack luster performance by Hassan. Critics began to question whether he deserved a roster spot on a team like Evil Geniuses.
