EG entered The International 2015 as one of the tournament favorites. However, EG experienced a setback of their own after losing the upper bracket finals 0–2 to CDEC Gaming. EG defeated LGD Gaming in the lower bracket finals and prevailed 3–1 in a rematch with CDEC in the grand finals to win the tournament and a 6.6 million grand prize, which made Sumail the youngest player ever to surpass a million in esports winnings.

In September 2019, it was announced that he would be leaving the team to join the Quincy Crew alongside his brother Yawar.

In April 2021, Sumail signed with Team Liquid as a stand-in player for the second season of the 2021 Dota Pro Circuit. He would leave them and rejoin OG two months later.
