Amer al-Barkawi (born June 20, 1997), better known by his alias Miracle-, is a Jordanian professional Dota 2 player currently playing for Team Liquid.

History

Miracle-'s history with the multiplayer online battle arena genre began with Defense of the Ancients in the mid 2000s. Miracle- started playing Dota 2 as a "pubstar", meaning he did not play competitively, but was ranked highly in public matches. Miracle-'s first entry into the professional scene was with the Balkan Bears in early 2015, although he did not participate in any major tournament and left the team after only four months.

Later that year, Miracle- reached an in-game matchmaking rating (MMR) of over 8000; thus surpassing Aliwi "w33" Omar and becoming the highest ranked player,[1] Miracle- was picked up by team (monkey) Business.[2] Following a sponsorship deal, (monkey) Business reformed themselves as OG. Shortly following the rebranding, Miracle- and the team won the Frankfurt Major.[3][4] Following a 7-8th-place finish in the Shanghai Major, Miracle- and OG managed to win the Manila Major and ESL One Frankfurt 2016.[5][6]

In March 2016, Miracle- became the first Dota 2 player to reach 9000 MMR.[7] After placing 9-12th at The International 2016, Miracle- left OG as a free agent to join Team Liquid in September 2016.[8]
