Jame extends contract with Virtus.pro for four years

The AWPer and in-game leader has put pen to paper, signing a long-term contract extension.

Virtus.pro has announced the renewal of captain and in-game leader Dzhami "⁠Jame⁠" Ali's contract for the next four years.

The 24-year-old initially signed with the organization in December 2019 after breaking out with AVANGAR, the team in which he made the StarLadder Berlin Major grand final and raised the BLAST Pro Series Moscow trophy with.

"Jame is an exceptional player. There are very few captains with his understanding of the game, tactical thinking and level of individual skill in the professional scene," Virtus.pro's CEO, Nikolai Petrossian, said.

"He is the backbone of our roster, so renewing his contract was one of the most important tasks related to the CS:GO roster. I am sure that Dzhami will lead our club to many more victories!"

Jame's accolades also include a Major MVP medal when he and his teammates won the IEM Rio Major under the Outsiders banner while the organization was sold and relocated to Armenia after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

"I have been with Virtus.pro for a very long time, the club has become a second home for me, so the decision to extend the contract was quite a simple one," Jame said.

"We have a great mutual understanding with the players, coaching staff and management, we all want to achieve victories and we are ready to work really hard for it. I’m happy to spend many more years with the Bears!"
