To win the ‘Most Valuable Player’ award at a CS:GO Major championship is, without doubt, one of the biggest and most prestigious accolades to grab as an individual in competitive Counter-Strike. It’s not only a testament to one’s heroics on the biggest stage of the game, but it’s also an opportunity to cement your name in the history of CS:GO.

The latest addition to the list is Outsiders’ Dzhami “Jame” Ali after his incredible performance at IEM Rio Major where he carried his team to the overall victory.
