Miracle- and ATF Awarded for Dota 2 Tournament Without Playing a Single Match
Global Dota 2 stars Amer "Miracle-" al-Barkawi and Ammar "ATF" al-Assaf.
The Ceremonial Speech
During the event, His Highness noted the "outstanding results" of the esports athletes:
"The results achieved are the fruit of continuous work and great efforts undertaken during a year full of difficulties..."
What's the Catch?
The irony of the situation is that neither Miracle- nor ATF played a single map at the IESF West Asia 2025 tournament for which they were awarded.
- Role: Both esports players were listed on the roster as substitute players.
- Team Result: The Jordanian team (playing without its stars) lost to the teams from Iran and Lebanon, finishing in third place overall.
- Prize Money: The tournament had no prize pool.
Miracle-'s Status
While Ammar al-Assaf continues his active career, Amer al-Barkawi has not officially competed on the professional scene since February 2025. The legendary player is listed as a substitute for Nigma Galaxy due to health issues, and his spot on the team has been filled in turns by Ghost, TA2000, and rincyq.
Previously, a well-known commentator finally dispelled rumors about a possible return of the legendary esports player to the team's active roster. According to his information, the vacant spot on the team was taken by a player from the CIS region.
