Video: The Rise of CS:GO’s most anticlimactic AWPer
This is the story of Dzhami “Jame” Ali.
Every game in esports has that one, flashy role whose residents are rockstars. Mechanical masters whose sole responsibility is to ship out savory beatdowns. In Counter-Strike, it’s the AWPers.
There’s no denying that hose who’ve been entrusted with the Mighty Green are the showstoppers of Counter-Strike. Living, breathing highlight reels who’ll stop at nothing to churn out the most ludicrous clips imaginable. Well, nearly all of them.
Today, we’re here to pay our respects to Dzhami “Jame” Ali, the enigmatic AWPer who’s managed to cement himself as world-class not by taking fights but by avoiding them time and time again.
Despite being a more than capable fragger, Jame’s go-to instinct is never to lunge into battle. It’s to play with such passivity that, at the first sign of failure, he opts to retreat instead of retake. To save instead of slam. To instigate what the community calls “Jametime”.
