Jason (Arabic: عامر البرقاوي) (born June 20, 1997), better known as Miracle-, is a Jordanian-Polish professional Dota 2 player for Nigma Galaxy.[1] He was a member of Team Liquid that won The International 2017.

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.[2] Miracle- was picked up by team (monkey) Business.[3] Following a sponsorship deal, (monkey) Business reformed themselves as OG. Shortly following the rebranding, Miracle- and the team won the Frankfurt Major.[4][5] Following a 7–8th-place finish in the Shanghai Major, Miracle- and OG won the Manila Major and ESL One Frankfurt 2016.[6][7]

In March 2016, Miracle- became the first Dota 2 player to reach 9000 MMR.[8] After placing 9–12th at The International 2016, Miracle- left OG as a free agent to join Team Liquid in September 2016.[9] He, along with the rest of the team, won The International 2017, which had the largest prize pool of any esports tournament, winning nearly US$11 million in prize money.[10][11] In November 2019, he and the rest of Team Liquid left to form their own organization, Nigma.[12][13] In April 2023, he played in place of Ammar "ATF" Al-Assaf at DreamLeague 19 before announcing his semi-retirement.[citation needed]
