In a stunning turn of events at Dreamleague Season 20, Shopify Rebellion and OG were both eliminated from the tournament after going 1-1 in their final series against each other. While disappointment lingers within both teams, the players from Shopify Rebellion are quick to acknowledge the extraordinary performance of their stand-in player, Amer “Miracle-” Barkawi. Considered to be one of the best players in the world by both fans and players alike, Miracle had a brilliant showing at the tournament, coming out of his break to help Shopify Rebellion compete. Tal “Fly” Azik and Andreas "Cr1t-" Nielsen both complimented the player in post-match interviews while Artour “Arteezy” Babaev and Jonáš "SabeRLight-" Volek praised the player over Tweets.

Miracle- Carries the Torch 

Miracle-, who is currently on a break from his professional Dota 2 career, showcased his unmatched talent throughout Dreamleague Season 20. Fly, the captain of Shopify Rebellion, expressed his admiration for Miracle-'s skills and his positive impact on the team.

"Yeah it was. It was up until after that TI which was TI5 or TI6. Oh man, Miracle- is the GOAT. Besides being an insane player, he’s also just an incredible positive energy to have on your team. He’s super fun to be around, he’s a super good person. There’s nothing bad you can say about him honestly, and he carried most of the games. He played, I think, better than the entire team, which is not good from our perspective, where we would have to do the least, but realistically, he played the best out of all of us."

Seamless Integration and Gratitude

Crit, another member of Shopify Rebellion, highlighted Miracle-'s adaptability and his contribution to the team. Reflecting on their previous experience playing with Miracle-, Crit shared his thoughts about the player. 

“I mean I’ve played with him before obviously, way back in the day. He’s always fun to play with, he’s very energetic, he’s fun, he’s always a cheery guy. He’s a very good teammate, so it's easy to play with him. Obviously, he doesn’t have exactly the same hero pool as Abed, and there have been some adjustments we’ve had to make, but that’s with any stand-in that you play with. So, we’re lucky to have a stand-in of that quality to play with."

Arteezy and Saberlight Tweet About Miracle

As the news of Shopify Rebellion's elimination spread, their team members took to social media to express their appreciation for Miracle-'s exceptional gameplay and the positive impact he had during the tournament. Both Arteezy and SabeRLight- took to Twitter to praise Miracle- and thank him for helping the team at Dreamleauge Season 20.

As Dreamleague Season 20 continues, fans will be disappointed to see Shipify Rebellion make an early exit from the tournament, along with Miracle-. However, there are still several other top-tier teams competing in the event to make it worthwhile and memorable for the fans. Moving forward, Shopify Rebellion will be playing at the Bali Major 2023, the last major tournament before the coveted The International 12.
