DotA 2 Old Men

in #esport7 years ago

let's talk a little about age players Dota 2.
In the e-sports community there is an opinion that by the age of 30 the player begins to lose form due to a worsening reaction. In his post, I want to tell you about players older than 25, who with their team made their way to the top 9 of the DPC rating. Is age an issue? I do not think so.

Virtus.pro: Solo - 27

Alexei 'Solo' Berezin is one of the most recognizable players of Dota 2. A transfer to the "bears" at the age of 25 became a new turn in the career of one of the best captains of the CIS. If before Solo knew because of the scandalous story and the sticky meme "322", now he proved that thanks to hard work you can reach any top. Alex has already become a happy owner of Mercedes, received the title of MVP from ESL, became a four-time winner of the majors during this season. Will it reach the main peak? Let's hope so.

OpTic Gaming: ppd now 26

The first on our list is the legendary captain and one of the best drafters of the professional scene. His career he started with Heroes of Newerth, and in Dota 2 moved just to 2013. Peter 'ppd' Dagger is known not only as a champion of TI5 as part of Evil Geniuses, but also as a rather scandalous figure. During his career, the leader of OpTic Gaming earned more than $ 2.5 million in prize money, and also won more than 30 cups. And he will definitely not stop there.

Signature characters - Treant Protector Treant Protector, Bane Bane, Crystal Maiden Crystal Maiden.

By the way, ppd is a participant of one of the most recognizable moments in the history of professional Dota 2 - the same Esho Slam for $ 5 million.

Newbee: Faith now 26

This player became the TI 2 champion in IG and the silver medalist TI7 along with NewBee. He earned about $ 1.6 million. Who knows, maybe it's Faith with his signature Rubick Rubick and Ancient Apparition Ancient Apparation who can re-raise Aegis of Champions.

Mineski: ninjaboogie — 26, iceiceice and Mushi — 27

The team from Southeast Asia is one of the oldest in the DPC ranking and proves that players over 25 can show good results not only on support. Chan 'Mushi' Foon, who in the team occupies the mider slot, became widely known to viewers in 2012. Then he, along with other Malaysian veterans Dota took 7-8 place on The International 2. The last world championship player missed, but this season his team has already secured a direct invitation.

VGJ.Thunder: ddc - 27

Another veteran of the Chinese Dota. The 27-year-old Liang 'ddc' Faman represents Macau, a special administrative district of the Celestial Empire. The upcoming The International for him will be the fifth in a row. Recall that last year ddc, together with LFY became a bronze medalist TI7, losing to Team Liquid in the semifinals.

Team Secret: Puppey - 28

Clement 'Puppey' Ivanov 28 years old, and he is widely known to the public due to the victory at The International 2011 in the composition of NaVi. After in 2014 the ways of the player and the "born to win" parted, he gathered his own team, called Team Secret. Clement is known for his uneasy character. The most discussed recently was his conflict with EternalEnvy, who in his blog told about the nonsense of the Estonian. Despite frequent quarrels, Puppey can be confidently called one of the best drafters and captains of Dota 2, whose bold decisions often pose opponents at a dead end.
