Amer al-Barkawi, better known by his alias Miracle-, is a professional Jordanian–Polish Dota 2 player for Team Liquid. Amer al-Barkawi started playing Dota 2 as a "pubstar", meaning he did not play competitively, but was ranked highly in public matches.
In August 2017, the team took first place at The International 2017, which had the largest eSports prize pool of any tournament in history at the time. Amer al-Barkawi's history with the multiplayer online battle arena genre began with Defense of the Ancients in the mid 2000s. Amer al-Barkawi'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, Amer al-Barkawi reached an in-game matchmaking rating (MMR) of over 8000; thus surpassing Aliwi "w33" Omar and becoming the highest ranked player, Amer al-Barkawi was picked up by team (monkey) Business. Following a sponsorship deal, (monkey) Business reformed themselves as OG. In March 2016, Amer al-Barkawi became the first Dota 2 player to reach 9000 MMR.
After placing 9–12th at The International 2016, Amer al-Barkawi left OG as a free agent to join Team Liquid in September 2016. He, along with the rest of the team, won The International 2017, which had the largest prize pool of any eSport tournament, winning nearly US$11 million in prize money.
