In August 2011, the esports landscape changed forever with the very first The International. At the time, a $1 million prize pool was unthinkable, and this iconic tournament has grown with leaps and bounds ever since.<\/p>\n
Out of The International tournaments and the Dota Pro Circuit, some of the greatest Dota 2<\/a> players ever emerged. Here, we take a look at the top 10 Dota 2 players of all time.<\/p>\n Please note<\/strong>: The views and opinions expressed in this article are that of the writer.<\/p>\n Johan “N0tail” Sundstein, also known as BigDaddy, or simply “a beautiful flower”, is the greatest Dota 2 player of all time.<\/p>\n Sure, it is a bold statement to make, but looking at the facts, one simply cannot deny N0tail<\/a> a top spot on this list. He is the player with the highest esports earnings, not only in Dota 2 but in esports as a whole, with over $6.8 million in prize money alone.<\/p>\n N0tail led his team, OG, to two consecutive The International wins (2018 and 2019). OG became the first-ever team to win two The International tournaments, and doing it back-to-back just puts the icing on the cake.<\/p>\n His first tournament win came with Fnatic at the StarLadder ProSeries Season 2 all the way back in 2012. Since then, N0tail has lifted dozens of trophies, including a record-breaking four Dota 2 Majors. His achievements speak volumes but his attitude and approach to Dota 2 are what truly makes him a legend.<\/p>\n N0tail current plays PO5 support for OG and is the coach of OG Seed<\/a>.<\/p>\n1.
