                   Miracle, Professional Dota 2 mid laner

Player Intro: -

Amer "Miracle-" Al-Barkawi is a Jordanian/Polish professional Dota 2 player who is playing for Team Nigma.

About Miracle: -

Amer Al-Barkawi (Miracle) is a famous name among every Dota 2 player. The popularity of Miracle in the Dota 2 community is beyond the sky’s limit. He was born on June 20, 1997. Miracle was born to a Polish mother and Jordanian father. He holds dual citizenship. Miracle was a carry player, but he has now shifted to be a mid mid-player once again. When he started Dota 2, he was mid-laner, then shifted to carry and is again back as mid-laner.

Miracle’s Background: -

With a lot of hard work and dedication, Miracle- eventually became the #1 player by MMR in the European division and the world, surpassing w33. After achieving the #1 MMR ranking, he was invited by N0tail to join (monkey) Business, a new team formed from the post-TI5 reshuffle to compete in the upcoming Majors. The team reformed as OG after being sponsored.

OG qualified for the first first-ever Dota 2 Major, the Frankfurt Major , and managed to win the tournament in an unexpected series of upsets, with Miracle- showing high high-level performances on Shadow Fiend throughout the tournament. His impressive abilities prompted many other teams to respect ban the hero.

 Despite OG being being one of the favorites for winning The International 2016, they exited early in the tournament, losing to TnC Gaming in the second round of the lower brackets at the main stage, marking one of the biggest upsets in Dota 2 history. 

Following the International 2016, he departed the team and joined Team Liquid after FATA- announced his temporary break from professional Dota. The new competitive season would start slowing for Miracle- and his new team, when they failed to qualify for the Boston Major. However, after his friend, GH joined the team in early 2017, having already stood in for them during their victory at DreamLeague, Team Liquid found their way back to dominance at the top of competitive Dota 2. Together with his team, Miracle- went on to win several premier tournaments throughout 2017: StarSeries Season 3, StarLadder i-League Invitational #2, EPICENTER, and DreamLeague Season 7. Miracle-'s outstanding season culminated in his team's victory at The International 2017, where Team Liquid swept Newbee 3-0 in the Grand Finals.

Miracle’s Interesting Facts: -

  • Miracle- was only the second player to win a TI and 2 Valve Majors as he won The Frankfurt and Manila Majors with OG and The International 2017 with Team Liquid. At the time, s4 was the only other player who had achieved this feat. It has since been achieved by Puppey, N0tail, JerAx , and ana.
  • On May 11th, 2016, he became the first player in Dota 2 history to achieve a matchmaking rating of over 9000. 
  • Had the highest average kills per game at The International 2016 (9.89) and The International 2018 (10.80).

What is Lorem Ipsum?It's time for them to learn their place. Reina storms the King of Iron Fist Tournament in #TEKKEN8  Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.     Why do we use it?It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).Where does it come from?Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.Where can I get some?There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised
