Virtus.pro captain Jame «Jame» Ali recently gave an interview to HLTV, where he summarized the results of the last few years and talked about his future plans. He gained a lot of notoriety in 2019 when he became the top player at the BLAST Pro Series Moscow. Soon after that he moved to Virtus.pro, which at that time was one of the most successful teams in the region, and later took the position of captain in it.
When asked about his future plans, the player noted that it is still too early to judge to what extent age can be an obstacle to participation in competitions. Now that Ali is 22 years old, he sometimes thinks about becoming a coach after 25 years, but he does not plan to leave cybersport completely anyway.
The player noted that money is an important, but not the main factor of motivation for him. He appreciates the opportunity to play in a strong roster and get better results. Most importantly, he is driven – by the desire to win. You can lose your advantage in eSports very quickly, so you need to constantly work on keeping it. Jame said that he spent his biggest winnings to help his mother buy an apartment.
Jame likes the role he has in the team now. Even before he formally became captain, he often took over decision making and determining the course of the game. Although he is willing to play other positions, this is the role he feels most comfortable in.
