Virtus.pro made a significant announcement regarding the departure of Dzhami 'Jame' Ali from their active Counter-Strike 2 roster. The news was shared via the organization's official social media channels.
This decision came in the wake of a series of disappointing performances in tournaments following the transfer of Denis 'electroNic' Sharipov from Cloud9. Jame's last appearance for Virtus.pro was at the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024, where the team faced an early exit after being defeated by less formidable opponents.
Jame's departure poses a challenge as his roles within the team, especially as the AWP player and captain, will require strategic adjustments. While Jame acknowledged the possibility of someone else taking on the leadership mantle in light of electroNic's transfer, he emphasized the need to prioritize his AWP performance.
Earlier in the year, Virtus.pro bid farewell to coach Dastan 'dastan' Akbayev, who had collaborated with Jame for over seven years. Following this, Andrey 'XomA' Mironenko assumed the coaching role briefly before being succeeded by team analyst Pavel 'PASHANOJ' Legostaev after nearly three months.
